SHELBOURNE HAVE CONFIRMED the signing of Cork City star Saoirse Noonan.
The Ireland international is making the move from her hometown club who she was an FAI Cup winner with in 2017 and helped them reached the decider again in 2020, losing out on that occasion to Peamount United.
Noonan, who has also been a key figure for the Cork ladies footballers in recent seasons, was selected for the provisional Ireland senior squad for December’s qualifier against Germany.
She was the subject of interest from sides in England and Iceland but the 21-year-old has opted to sign for Shelbourne.
