The Ireland women’s national team have successfully persuaded a former Australian Under 23 international to switch allegiance.
Deborah-Anne De La Harpe qualifies for Ireland via her Larne-born mother (Edel Wilson) and arrived in Vera Pauw’s training camp late last week.
The wing back, 22, could potentially make her international debut against China in Wednesday’s friendly in Spain, having impressed Pauw with her displays for Sydney - her hometown club - in the A League. De La Harpe previously played for Perth Glory.
