Ireland star Denise O’Sullivan has been hailed as “one of the best midfielders in the world”.
O’Sullivan on Thursday signed a new two-year deal with US outfit North Carolina Courage.
The Cork-born ace joined the side in 2017 and has made 93 of her 122 NWSL appearances with the Courage.
Head coach Sean Nahas paid tribute to the 28-year-old, saying: “We couldn’t be more excited with the news of Denise’s contract extension here with the club.
“Knowing we have her with the club for the next three years provides us the stability we need and allows us to continue to build around her and her importance both on the field and in our locker room.
“She has become one of the best midfielders in the world and to have that continue to be here in a Courage jersey is something everyone should be excited about.”
O’Sullivan won back-to-back NWSL Championship titles the Courage, in 2018 and 2019, three NWSL Shields, and most recently, the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup.
The 94-time capped star said: “The Courage is my home. From the fans to the team, it’s such a great place to play football. I can’t wait to see what the coming years have to bring.”
