Celtic FC Women have confirmed yet another signing as Saoirse Noonan becomes the sixth summer addition to Elena Sadiku’s squad.

Noonan joins Celtic from English Championship side Durham. She made 21 appearances in the league last season, grabbing two goals and two assists. She enjoyed a good season as far as domestic cups were concerned, scoring twice in a 3-2 win over Blackburn and scoring a 93rd minute equaliser after coming on as a substitute in 2-2 draw with Sunderland. The latter tie went to penalties, where Noonan converted and her side went onto win the tie.
The Irish international was nominated for October’s Player of the Month and Goal of the Month, so she is no stranger to awards. She is no stranger to silverware either as she has lifted two trophies during her time with Cork City and Shelbourne.
Now, she joins up with international teammate Caitlin Hayes. Noonan has been capped three times for her country, scoring once.
The forward joins on a three-year deal and will hopefully be a great addition to the squad ahead of the upcoming campaign. Celtic Women head off to Sweden for a summer training camp at the start of August, where they will play Djurgarden and Hammarby, so we will hopefully get to see some of our new signings in action before the SWPL season kicks off at Paradise on Saturday 10 August.
Welcome to Celtic, Saoirse.

I have zero interest in women’s football, so please state in future that it’s women’s football the headline refers to and that will save me wasting valuable moments of my life. Thank you.
Very poor comment, Celtic is one club. The year is 2024.
Bottom line is no one is interested in women’s football.
Getting paid to push this nonsense that no one is interested in says more about those who run this website than it does about those calling it out.
No one cares.
Who the hell pays us to ‘push’ women’s football? What a ridiculous notion. We spend more money on covering women’s football than I’d probably like to admit but we have seen things that are extra special, winning two Scottish Cups, a League Cup and in May the SWPL1 title. Celtic is committed to building the women’s team in line with all major clubs across Europe and in truth we are a decade behind clubs in France, Spain, Sweden and England where crowds are incredible.
Well said.
AN TEARMANN You should get a t- shirt made , NO WOMEN , NO GHIRLS ,NO DOGS , sound familiar?
I’m not personally aware of any dogs football teams, although I have to say that such a novelty would be highly entertaining. I’m also not aware of any organisation of the past, which you are presumably hinting at without context, which was so lacking in basic education that it believed there to be a letter “h” in girls.
There is also an H in Bhoys…not one in clown though.

Yes, the year is 2024 but it is sadly afflicted with the cultural Marxist ideology of 1917 Russia. The sexes were created to be complimentary, not competitive. Besides that, women’s football is physiologically a shadow of the male game. I have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever and no one will ever programme my mind to think contrary to what I observe with my eyes and comprehend by my informed intellect.
Time you got back to the garage Martin. That fanbelt won’t tighten itself

I though people who ran social media-type blogs like this were supposed to be a little above the average contributor in IQ and, well, social communication. Your responses are childishly insulting and they degrade your site. Maybe you should think about an alternative passtime and leave the Celtic websites to editors who know how to make a point while remaining mannerable.
