Albion Sign Ireland International

By James Hilsum • 26 January 2019

Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of Republic of Ireland international midfielder Megan Connolly.
 
The 21-year-old has signed a contract until the end of the season, and is eligible to make her debut in Sunday’s FA Women’s Super League match away at Manchester City.
 
Manager Hope Powell said, “We are delighted to bring in a young player of Megan’s quality to the club.
 
“She has enjoyed a successful career playing college football out in the States, and already has senior international experience with Ireland.
 
“I am very much looking forward to working with Megan, and would like to welcome her to the club.”
 
Connolly arrives at Albion after spending more than three years playing college football for Florida Seminoles, which she combined with a four-year scholarship to study Sports Management at Florida University.
 
She has won a host of team and personal honours during her time with the university, and has represented Ireland from under-15 up to senior level, making her debut in a friendly against USA in January 2015.
