Ciara Marie McCormack (born 29 September 1979) is a soccer defender who last played for the Australian W-League club Newcastle Jets and the Republic of Ireland women's national football team.
College career
McCormack won a scholarship to Yale University and played college soccer for four years. She spent a further year at the University of Connecticut.[2]
Club career
McCormack has featured for Boston Renegades, Vancouver Whitecaps Women and Ottawa Fury Women in the W-League. She also played for Fortuna Hjørring in Denmark.[3] Since moving to Norway in 2008, McCormack has represented Toppserien clubs Asker Fotball, FK Larvik and Kolbotn Fotball.[4] She left Kolbotn for Donn Toppfotball in August 2010.[3]
International career
In late 2007 McCormack delayed her arrival in Norway to attend a training camp with the Canada women's national soccer team.[5]
However, McCormack first appeared for the Republic of Ireland in three friendly games against the United States in September 2008.[2] She then played in both defence and midfield for Ireland.[6] McCormack's father Barry is from Athlone and her mother is from County Cork.[7]
She won the last of her eight caps in a defeat by the Netherlands in August 2010. On 5 May 2014, Ireland manager Susan Ronan recalled McCormack to an experimental squad for a friendly against the Basque Country.[8] McCormack started Ireland's 2–0 defeat in Azpeitia, which was not classified as a full international fixture.[9]
