Katie McCabe captains Vera Pauw’s squad, who hope to make their mark in Australia
The third most capped Republic of Ireland player of all time, O’Gorman having made her debut when she was just 16. She retired from international football in 2018 but was persuaded to return to the fold by Vera Pauw two years later. Another of the squad’s versatile players, she has been the top scorer in the Irish league for the last three seasons, but usually appears on the right side of defence or in midfield for Ireland.
Born: Newcastle West, Co LimerickAs a youngster, O’Riordan’s sole sporting ambitions were to play Gaelic football and camogie for Limerick, both of which she achieved. It was only when she went to the Institute of Technology in Carlow, where she did a BA in sports management and coaching, that she realised there might be a future in soccer. After a successful spell with Wexford Youths, she spent four years in Germany with MSV Duisburg before joining Glasgow Celtic last summer.
