Hearts sign Northern Ireland international Louise McDaniel

Scottish Women's Premier League side Hearts have announced the signing of Northern Ireland international Louise McDaniel ahead of their 2020 season. 

The midfielder has gained experience at Linfield Ladies before she joined FA Women's Championship side Blackburn Rovers Ladies last September. 

On her signing she said: "I feel like Hearts is the perfect fit for me at the moment, hearing how the manager (Kevin Murphy) want the team to play and the ambitions of the club is really exciting. I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of.

"The team are fantastic; I’ve really settled into the squad now. The staff and players made it really easy for me, it’s such a positive team environment.

"This season I want to get as many minutes under my belt as possible and help Hearts Women make a real impact in SWPL 1."

She made her Northern Ireland senior debut last February against Kazakhstan in the World Cup qualifying. 

Hearts will kick-off their league campaign against Rangers away on February 23.
