Glentoran announce signing of Northern Ireland international Chloe McCarron

Glentoran have announced the signing of Northern Ireland midfielder Chloe McCarron.

The 23-year-old joins the Women's Irish Premiership Champions after leaving Birmingham City, where she made 12 appearances since her arrival at the club in August 2020.

She left the Women's Super League side in April to return to Northern Ireland.

McCarron made her mark on the Women's Premiership in 2017 when she signed with Linfield where she go on to win four league titles in as many seasons.

The midfielder first played for Northern Ireland’s Under-15 girls’ team as a 13-year-old.

She subsequently played several times at both U17 and U19 level before making her senior bow as a teenager in 2015, playing in three friendly internationals.

The midfielder played in both legs of Northern Ireland's historic win against Ukraine in April to reach the 2022 Euro finals.

A statement from Birmingham City at the time of her departure read: "The Northern Ireland international, who recently helped her nation qualify for their first major tournament, is remaining in her home country for personal reasons.

"Having joined from Linfield in August 2020, McCarron has made 12 appearances, including ten in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League for Carla Ward’s side.

"Everyone at Birmingham City would like to thank Chloe for her efforts during her time at the Club."
