Letterkenny Rovers club chairman Dessie Kelly and Brid McGinty
Letterkenny Rovers have announced the appointment of Brid McGinty as their new Head of Women’s Football.
McGinty, who is currently doing her UEFA A Licence, has vast experience in the women’s game. She is currently Head Coach of both the Donegal U-19 and U-17 Women’s National League teams and coach with the FAI Donegal Girls Centre of Excellence U-13 and U-15. She has previously guided Lagan Harps to national cup success winning both the WFAI Intermediate Cup and the WFAI Junior Cup.
“The appointment of Brid is a major step forward by the club and is indicative of our plans for the development of girls and women’s football at Letterkenny Rovers,” the Leckview club said.
"I’m focussed on building a sustainable future for women’s football at Letterkenny Rovers,” McGinty said. "I’m ready for a new challenge and I’m really looking forward to taking on this role as there is so much potential out there at both underage and adult level.”
Welcoming her to the club, chairman Dessie Kelly said: “We have a proud record of women’s football in the club as two time winners of the WFAI Intermediate Cup and WFAI Junior Cup finalists but we have been out of it for too long.
“We participated this year in the UEFA Disney Playmakers - a programme aimed specifically at introducing girls to football - but this is a great way to mark our return and we will do everything we can to support Brid”.
The club will soon announce details of plans for the 2023 season as well as seeking expressions of interest for new coaches and players.
