Niamh Fahey

Niamh Fahey joined Liverpool FC Women in July 2018 and the Republic of Ireland international was appointed club captain two years later.

A lifeling Reds fan, Fahey signed a new contract with the club shortly before the start of the 2024-25 Barclays Women's Super League season.

Fahey started her career with her local side and moved to England with Arsenal in 2008, enjoying a domestic treble during her first season.

She went on to win another three league titles at Arsenal and four Women's FA Cups before a switch to Chelsea in 2015, where she won the double in her first year.

Fahey spent a season in France with Bordeaux and then fulfilled a personal dream by signing for Liverpool.

A versatile player who is normally used at centre-back, she penned a new deal in June 2020 and was appointed skipper that same summer.

In 2021-22, Fahey led the team to the FA Women's Championship title, missing only three games and also scoring two goals as they gained promotion back to the WSL.

After Liverpool finished seventh on their return to the top flight, Fahey then signed a contract extension ahead of 2023-24.

In September 2024, after helping Matt Beard's team to a fourth-placed finish in the WSL in 2023-24, she extended her association with the club by signing a new contract.
