"Campbell has been without a club since leaving London City Lionesses at the end of last season following their promotion to the WSL. The 32-year-old won 57 caps for Republic of Ireland after making her senior debut in August 2011 against Switzerland. Campbell, who could play left back or centre back, was a member of the Irish squad that qualified for the 2023 Women's World Cup, but she missed the tournament through injury."
"Renowned for her long throw-ins, she holds the Guinness World Record for performing the longest ever throw-in by a female footballer - 37.55 metres. The Drogheda native had spells at clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton. She won a domestic treble at City and also helped Liverpool win promotion back to the WSL in 2022. It's been a while coming but something I've struggled accepting for a long time now."
