Galway United Senior Women’s Player Departures – February 2025

Galway United can confirm that Jamie Erickson, Roisin Jacob and Mary-Kate Tyrell have left the club. We would like to thank them for their hard work and wish them the best of luck going forward.

Jamie Erickson

Jamie Erickson is well known to United fans, particularly following her heroic performances particularly in last year’s Avenir Sports All-Island Cup final. In 2024 Canadian scored the winning penalties in the Semi-Final and Final. Erickson signed for United since it’s inception in late 2022, following a spell with Galway WFC. She became a mainstay within the squad within her two years, playing in almost every game. Erickson in 2024, became our first ever Senior Women’s player to hit the 50 appearance landmark.
