"At Linfield you were part of the Youth Team for two years before moving to the Senior Team in 2018 with whom you enjoyed success winning the League Title.

"In 2021 you transferred to Glentoran Football Club and you remained with the Club until 2023. During this time you enjoyed further success helping the Club to win the Irish Cup and Premiership title.

"Following your spell with Glentoran Football Club, you went on to play for Sligo Rovers and Athlone Town.

"Alongside your Club football, you also play internationally for Northern Ireland. Emerging first on the international stage at the age of 10 and making your Senior debut in 2020. You have also just been called up for the Women’s Euro 2025 qualifiers.

"You have always dreamed of playing football professionally and this year you achieved this when signed for Nottingham Forest Women Football Club.

"This success is testament to your talent as a footballer as well as your commitment to training and desire to achieve and play top level football.

"This achievement is even more commendable as you have also had school and college commitments.

"I would like to thank you Mum, Vikki, and Dad, Mark, for supporting you and taking you to training to give you this fantastic opportunity.

"On behalf of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, and on my own behalf, I would like to congratulate you on your achievements to date, particularly your signing for Nottingham Forest Women Football Club.

"I am confident that your talent and commitment will shine through and you will continue to excel and play at the top level for many years to come."
