Katie McCabe (born 21 September 1995) is an Irish international footballer who plays for Arsenal Ladies of the English FA WSL. She made her debut for the Republic of Ireland women's national football team in March 2015.
Club career[]
McCabe was playing for Raheny United when the Women's National League (WNL) was formed in 2011 and represented the club in the competition's first season. Over the next three seasons she won two league titles and three consecutive FAI Women's Cups with "The Pandas". She also represented the club in the UEFA Women's Champions League. McCabe missed four months of the 2013–14 season with a broken leg. In 2014–15 McCabe scored 23 WNL goals for Raheny, two behind top scorer Áine O'Gorman of UCD Waves.
For the 2015–16 season, McCabe remained with the club in their new guise as Shelbourne Ladies. In December 2015 she signed for London club Arsenal Ladies, rejecting competing offers from Glasgow City, Chelsea and Manchester City.
International career[]
At the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, McCabe featured as Ireland won their group, before crashing 4–0 to a Vivianne Miedema-inspired Netherlands in the semi-final.
In March 2015 national coach Susan Ronan gave McCabe a senior debut against Hungary at the 2015 Istria Cup, a 1–1 draw. A quad injury kept McCabe out of Ireland's 3–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying defeat by Template:Nwft on 26 November 2015 at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin. At the 2016 Cyprus Cup, McCabe scored her first international goal to secure a 1–1 draw with Italy.
Personal life[]
McCabe has 10 siblings, including Gary McCabe, who played in the League of Ireland Premier Division from 2007 to 2018.
She is openly lesbian. In June 2019, she revealed that she is in a relationship with fellow player Ruesha Littlejohn and that women's association football is very accepting of LGBT people.
