Club career

After beginning her career with Douglas Hall AFC, Shine joined Cork City Women's when the Women's National League (WNL) was formed in 2011. In 2013, she transferred to Raheny United and collected a league and FAI Women's Cup double with "The Pandas". She also represented the club in the UEFA Women's Champions League. [2]

Shine's career was interrupted by a broken leg and a period out of the game when she tried to come back too quickly from the injury. [3] In May 2015 she moved to Scotland to join Glasgow City after a successful two-week trial. [4] In November 2015 Shine scored a hat-trick in City's 3–0 Scottish Women's Cup final win over Hibernian. [5]

In March 2017, Shine brought her spell with Glasgow City to an end and returned home to Cork City, [note 1] partly because she wanted to start playing Gaelic games again. [6] She scored the only goal of the 2017 FAI Women's Cup final, as Cork beat UCD Waves 1–0 at the Aviva Stadium in November 2017. [7]

In 2019, Shine re-joined Glasgow City and scored on her second debut in a 5–1 win over Stirling University. [8] She left the club on 24 September 2022, announcing her retirement from football. [9] [10]

International career

Shine was 15 when she was part of the under-17 squad who lost the final of the 2010 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in Switzerland. [11] She then participated in Ireland's 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup campaign. At the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, Shine scored the only goal against Spain as Ireland won their group,[ citation needed ] before crashing 4–0 to the Netherlands in the semi-final. She had recovered from a broken leg sustained 10 weeks earlier. [12]

National coach Susan Ronan gave Shine a senior debut in a 3–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying defeat by Spain on 26 November 2015 at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin.

Notes

  1. ↑ During Shine's absence the previously-independent women's club in Cork had merged into men's League of Ireland club Cork City FC.
