Niamh Fahey
Niamh Fahey (/niːv ˈfæhi/ neev FA-hee; born 13 October 1987) is an Irish former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder or centre-back. Beginning her career with Salthill Devon, she moved to Arsenal in 2008, where she spent six seasons before moving to Chelsea in 2014. After a spell at Bordeaux, Fahey signed for Liverpool in 2018. Fahey would go on to become club captain in 2020, before retiring at the club in 2025. From 2007 to 2025, she also represented the Republic of Ireland national team. She has also won national cups playing Gaelic football with Galway Ladies Football. Niamh is the sister of Galway's 2001 All-Ireland-winning Gaelic football captain Gary Fahey.
Fahey began playing football with Moycullen as her hometown, Killanin, did not have a soccer club at the time. She then moved to Salthill Devon and progressed through the ranks alongside future international teammate Méabh De Búrca. Both players helped Galway win the FAI Women's Cup in 2007. In the final against Raheny United, Fahey scored the winning penalty and also subdued the attacking threat of Raheny's Olivia O'Toole, in what RTÉ described as "a splendid individual display."
She joined Arsenal Ladies in August 2008. In her first season with the Gunners Fahey made 18 appearances, mostly at left full–back, as the club won a domestic treble.
On 19 December 2014, Fahey signed for Chelsea L.F.C.
In the summer of 2018, Fahey signed for her lifelong supported club Liverpool where she has been the club captain since 2020. She stayed with the club after they were relegated on a points by points basis in the summer of 2020.
In the 2021–22 FA Women's Championship season, Fahey led Liverpool to the FA Women's Championship title winning sixteen out of their twenty two league games, earning their promotion back to the FA Women's Super League. She missed only three games and also scoring two goals during the entirety of the season.
After Liverpool finished seventh on their return to the top flight, Fahey then signed a contract extension ahead of the 2023-24 season.
On 2 May 2025, Fahey announced her retirement from football at the end of the 2024–25 season.
