FAI: Sinead Farrelly added to Ireland WNT squad

Born in Havertown, Pennsylvania, the midfielder qualifies for Ireland through her Cavan-born father (Sean) but required an international transfer having represented the United States at underage level.
Farrelly had been in contact with WNT Manager Vera Pauw over the last two years and was invited to train with the squad in Austin, Texas this week.
The 33-year-old, who plays in the NWSL with NJ/NY Gotham FC, will be added to the official squad for Saturday's game at Q2 Stadium, Austin and the follow-up in St. Louis on Tuesday, April 11 - both against World No 1 USA.
