Republic of Ireland international joins the Foxes on a two-year deal
Heather has spent the past two seasons with WSL side Everton
She has won over 50 caps for her country

The 25-year-old joins us following a two-year spell with Barclays Women’s Super League side Everton and signs a two-year deal at King Power Stadium.

A versatile operator, she joins Amandine Miquel’s side as a right-back and further bolsters our defensive options ahead of the new season.

Heather has earned over 50 caps for the Republic of Ireland and brings added layer of experience to LCFC Women squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Speaking to Foxes Hub, Heather said: "This is a place where I can develop, and I've heard really good things about the team itself and the staff.

"Belvoir Drive is an outstanding facility and that's an added bonus having access to everything you need as a player. It looks really good and I'm excited to get to work there."

Born in Ballinasloe, Heather started her career with Peamount United in her native country before signing for Bristol City in August 2018.

She later took up a college scholarship with Florida State Seminoles, spending four years in the American college system prior to linking up with Everton in 2023.

Heather has now joined the group at Belvoir Drive as preparations continue ahead of the opening day, which gets underway on Sunday 7 September at Manchester United (12pm kick-off).
