Celtic signs Irish international striker…but it’s not Idah | OneFootball

Celtic FC Women have confirmed yet another signing as Saoirse Noonan becomes the sixth summer addition to Elena Sadiku’s squad.

Noonan joins Celtic from English Championship side Durham. She made 21 appearances in the league last season, grabbing two goals and two assists. She enjoyed a good season as far as domestic cups were concerned, scoring twice in a 3-2 win over Blackburn and scoring a 93rd minute equaliser after coming on as a substitute in 2-2 draw with Sunderland. The latter tie went to penalties, where Noonan converted and her side went onto win the tie.

The Irish international was nominated for October’s Player of the Month and Goal of the Month, so she is no stranger to awards. She is no stranger to silverware either as she has lifted two trophies during her time with Cork City and Shelbourne.

Now, she joins up with international teammate Caitlin Hayes. Noonan has been capped three times for her country, scoring once.

The forward joins on a three-year deal and will hopefully be a great addition to the squad ahead of the upcoming campaign. Celtic Women head off to Sweden for a summer training camp at the start of August, where they will play Djurgarden and Hammarby, so we will hopefully get to see some of our new signings in action before the SWPL season kicks off at Paradise on Saturday 10 August.

Welcome to Celtic, Saoirse.
