The former Republic of Ireland international explained to Argyle TV: “Coming to the stadium, the enormity of Home Park hits you straight away. What a facility. Doing our due diligence on the team as well, there’s a nucleus of players to say that there’s something here.
“The biggest thing was the alignment from the owner, to the board and staff on the ground, of a clear vision for the Women’s team. There’s a real hunger and desire for the team to be at the centre point of the football club.
“It’s an opportunity that I feel is a football club that has got the potential to go wherever it wants to go and the desire to go wherever it wants to go, which is important for me.”
