The Republic of Ireland international has signed an extended contract with Liverpool Football Club.

The Galway native will continue her stay with the Reds, where she has already completed five years of service.

Fahey has made 106 appearances for the Reds, a total that puts her behind only defensive partner Gemma Bonner in the current squad.

The centre-back led the team back to the Barclays Women’s Super League by lifting the FA Women’s Championship title in 2022 and made 15 appearances as they consolidated their place in the top tier with a seventh-placed finish last season.

“It was an easy decision and I’m delighted to extend my contract at this fantastic club – I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else,” Fahey told Liverpoolfc.com.

“I’m already massively excited for next season. I’ve been here five years, seen a lot of changes, but the position we’re in now as a club is really exciting and the future looks really, really bright.

“I’m delighted to be a part of it and keep pushing the club higher up the table.”

Liverpool Women's manager Matt Beard added: “Niamh’s a fantastic person, a fantastic leader, and her performance levels on the pitch have stayed consistently high for club and country. She’s our captain and we’re delighted she’s decided to extend her contract.”
