Niamh Fahey has been named the new captain of Liverpool FC Women.

The 32-year-old Republic of Ireland international is preparing for her third season with the Reds after signing a new contract in the summer.

A centre-half who can also play as a defensive midfielder, Fahey has a wealth of experience in the game, with several league titles and FA Cups already secured during her career.

“For me as a supporter, now being captain is beyond my wildest dreams and I’m going to embody the spirit of the club through my captaincy and bring out the values of a Liverpool player.
