Amy Boyle-Carr (born 6 January 2001) is an Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sligo Rovers and has appeared for the Republic of Ireland women's national team. She also plays ladies' Gaelic football for the Donegal county team.

Club career

Boyle-Carr is from Glenties. She played youth soccer for Lagan Harps and Donegal Town,[1] and represented Donegal in the Gaynor Cup. In January 2017 she signed for Sion Swifts of the Northern Ireland Women's Premiership.[2]

In July 2022 Boyle-Carr made a soccer comeback, signing for Women's National League (WNL) club Sligo Rovers.[3]

International career

Boyle-Carr has been capped for the Republic of Ireland national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[4] Impressed by her performances with the Republic of Ireland under-17s, Ireland coach Colin Bell named 16-year-old Boyle-Carr in his senior squad for two friendlies with Portugal at the Estádio de São Miguel, Ponta Delgada, in January 2018.[1]

She won her first senior cap on 10 April 2018, in a 2–0 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying defeat by European champions the Netherlands at Tallaght Stadium. Boyle-Carr had acquired tickets to attend the match as a supporter, so was surprised to be picked to play.[5]

Gaelic games

As well as soccer, Boyle-Carr plays ladies' Gaelic football. In 2019 she decided to focus on playing for the Donegal county team.[6]
