Nicola Sinnott (born 8 August 1987) is a Republic of Ireland women's international footballer who plays for Wexford Youths of the Women's National League.

Club career

Sinnott played youth football for Boca Juniors of Gorey, then attended University College Dublin on a soccer scholarship.[1] She transferred to Peamount United, where she was part of the 2010 FAI Women's Cup-winning team[2] and the subsequent 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League campaign.[3]

In November 2011, Sinnott signed for Shamrock Rovers ahead of the inaugural 2011–12 Women's National League season.[4] After moving on to Wexford Youths, she found success in the 2014–15 season; being named in the league Team of the Season as the club won the championship.[5]

International career

Sinnott made her international debut at under-17 level for Ireland in April 2004. She was named player of the tournament in a four-team competition hosted in Castlebar.[6] She later played at under-19 level[7] and represented Irish Universities at the World University Games, playing in the 2009 tournament in Belgrade.[8]

In May 2015, Sinnott was called up to the senior national team for the first time, for a friendly in the United States. After the match had been arranged, it was discovered to be outside FIFA's designated dates for international matches, so several of Ireland's first-choice players were not released by their clubs.[9] Sinnott won a debut cap as a late substitute for Stephanie Roche in Ireland's 3–0 defeat.[10]

Personal life

Sinnott is employed as a secondary school teacher in Enniscorthy.[4]
