As reported by the Irish Examiner a fortnight ago, the Blessington native has joined the Viola after a wait for international clearance during which she was training with the club.

The centre-back, who has earned 79 caps, joins a club that was second behind Juventus when the season was curtailed due to Covid-19. Backed by their new owner, billionaire Rocco Commisso, they will enter next season’s Champions League at the last-32 stage.
