Heather Payne has offloaded the job of finding a new club while she concentrates on the World Cup.

The Republic of Ireland player has just recently completed her studies at Florida State University where she was playing her ‘club’ football and is keeping her options open as to whether she will seek to stay Stateside in the NWSL or try her hand in England.
