Marissa Callaghan caps memorable season with Player of the Month award

This year, Callaghan skippered Northern Ireland at their first ever major tournament and lifted the Women’s Danske Bank Premiership trophy for the Reds.

In the final few weeks of the season, Callaghan helped Cliftonville to the title with a series of fine displays that included goals against Linfield Ladies and Crusaders Strikers.

Callaghan said: "I'm delighted to win this award, but you can't win these without the players around you.

“We have a young team at Cliftonville and I'm so proud of them for all we achieved by winning our first league this season.

“It gives me confidence that I can continue to play at 37, and as long as my body allows and I'm selected for club and country I'll continue to play."
