“It’s a hugely proud moment for me and for my family who have been great support throughout my career.”
Niamh will be taking over the mantle from Fiona Coghlan who retired after the World Cup 2014.
“To follow in the footsteps of an unbelievable leader in Fiona Coghlan is a fantastic honour and I look forward to captaining this great squad.”
Also speaking about the news, Anthony Eddy remarked, “There has been a lot of change in the women’s set-up, with several uncapped players and a new coaching team.
“Niamh’s experience, at the highest level, will bring a continuity of leadership within the squad. She has always set a terrific standard as a player and we know she will continue to do so as captain.”Explore more on these topics:
