Derry City's new signing Caoimhe Walsh

Kerrykeel native Caoimhe Walsh has returned to play for Derry City for a second spell following her period with Sion Swifts in the Northern Ireland league.  

The Donegal star joined Sion Swifts in 2019 and has been a regular presence on the starting lineup since joining the club. 

Walsh started her football with Fanad United under the management of Liam McKinney and Caitriona O’Brien. She joined Lagan Harps at 13 when Fanad ceased at U-14 level and wanted to continue playing football.  

The newly signed Derry star was also part of the Mulroy Senior Girls team who reached the FAI B Senior Cup Final back in 2015 before she represented Ireland where she played against the Czech Republic and Austria. 

She has also starred for the Republic of Ireland U-16 side and in 2019, she won a Colleges Premier Division with Maynooth University. 

Walsh becomes manager Paul Dixon’s third signing of this transfer window.
