Her experience and leadership will be crucial for a young Rovers side, who have lost some big names of late. Stephanie Zambra, Lia O’Leary, Jess Hennessy, Shauna Fox, Amanda Budden and Aoife Kelly are among those to have departed the squad in recent months. The retired Zambra has since returned in a coaching capacity, but the absences of others have been keenly felt.
Her signing is a statement one by Collie O’Neill and underlines Rovers’ title ambitions in their third season back in the Women’s Premier Division.
