FROM CALIFORNIA TO GALWAY VIA HOLLAND 🇳🇱

Coady started her career locally in California with “Southern California Blues” as a child, before commiting to Pepperdine University as a teenager. She then quickly made the move to Europe, to the Dutch top tier. Kyah made her Eredivise senior debut at just seventeen with VV Alkmaar. She impressed here and stayed on with the senior team until 2022. She was recognised across the league officially as the “Player to Watch” and “Playmaker to Watch” in Eredivise for her performances.

“The experiences abroad have helped shape me as a player and a person. I’ve played under lots of different managers and styles and it’s just adding more tools to my tool box.”

Kyah then moved to Telstar to sign her second professional contract. She kickstarted her career with the club, with a standout goal against UEFA Women’s Champions League side, Ajax. During her time there she also faced off against fellow UWCL side FC Twente, along with many Dutch internationals. Following a season with Telstar, Kyah then moved to the United States where she most recently played in the USL-W League with Oakland Soul and captained San Jose State University, earning Defensive MVP honours in 2024.

Now Kyah moves to her Dad’s homeland of Ireland, and will be wearing maroon following some impressive years in both the Netherlands and the United States. Still at just 22-years-old, Coady has a lot of potential to hit new heights at Eamonn Deacy Park.
