The 34-year-old has been a free agent since her departure from English Championship side London City Lionesses in January.
“We’re absolutely delighted to have Ruesha join our team,” said Shamrock Rovers boss Collie O’Neill.
“Having a player with her level of experience is not just beneficial for us, but it’s also massive for the entire league”
Littlejohn has had a colourful career to date in England, Scotland and Norway, representing a raft of clubs including Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Celtic.
The Glaswegian made her Ireland senior debut in 2012. She has been a key player for the Girls In Green, scoring six goals in 87 caps and featuring prominently at the 2023 World Cup.
“It will be good to get back in a routine of playing football, working with the likes of Collie, he’s obviously a very good coach, he’s been in the game a long time,” said Littlejohn.
“I’m looking forward to keep learning, it will be nice to have a manager that’s going to help progress me and I’m looking forward to hopefully being here for the team and hopefully we can win as many games as possible”
Rovers opened their league campaign with a dramatic 2-1 win over Shelbourne at Tolka Park last weekend. O’Neill’s side welcome champions Athlone Town to Tallaght Stadium on Saturday evening, with Littlejohn available for selection having received international clearance.
