FITZGERALD & HERRON JOIN HIBERNIAN

Jess Fitzgerald and Scarlett Herron have joined SWPL Champions, Hibernian FC, from Peamount United and Shamrock Rovers respectively.

Both players have been standout starts in the League of Ireland Women's Division over the last 3 years, prompting Hibs manager, Grant Scott, to bring them to the club as they look to defend their SWPL title.

On Fitzgerald’s signing, Scott said: “We’re delighted to have Jess on board with us for the season ahead. She’s a composed, technically gifted midfielder that will offer so much to our team. 

“She is a league-winner in Ireland and has prior experience in the Champions League, and we’re confident her pedigree and experience at such a young age will only enhance our squad.”

On Herron, he added: "“Scarlett is a talented defender we are excited to welcome into our squad. She is powerful and gives us an extra option in a key position. 

“Despite her young age, she already has vast experience in the Irish league and has made a strong start to the 2025 season there, so we are naturally excited to see how she continues to develop over here in Scotland.”
