Áine O'Gorman

Áine Marie O'Gorman (born 13 May 1989) is an Irish professional footballer who plays for Women's National League club Shamrock Rovers.

A prolific forward at club level, O'Gorman has won the Women's National League top goalscorer award five times – including on three consecutive occasions from 2020 to 2022 – in her long association with Peamount United.

O'Gorman played club football for Stella Maris, while attending sports scholarships at Sallynoggin College[1] and IT Carlow.

[8] O'Gorman was given accommodation at the Ramada Jarvis hotel in Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, with other signings Kylla Sjoman and Maria Karlsson.

[11] At the end of the 2011 FA WSL season she returned to Peamount on loan ahead of the Irish club's 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League tie with Paris Saint-Germain.

[15] O'Gorman scored in Peamount's 6–3 WNL Cup final win over Castlebar Celtic in May 2013, to help the club retain the trophy.

[16] In October 2013, O'Gorman provided an assist for Stephanie Roche to score a celebrated goal in Peamount's win over Wexford Youths.

[19] When UCD Waves lost the 2014 FAI Women's Cup final 2–1 to Raheny United in extra-time, O'Gorman celebrated her equalising goal by revealing a t-shirt with stricken team-mate Chloe Mustaki's squad number 17 on it.

[20] She secured the 2014–15 Golden Boot when rival striker Katie McCabe's club Raheny United received a walkover in their final fixture at Cork City, who failed to muster a team.

[23] UCD Waves were upset 1–0 by Cork City in the 2017 FAI Women's Cup final,[24] but O'Gorman missed the occasion with a medial ligament injury.

"[25] Peamount finished third in 2018, but collected their first trophy for five years when O'Gorman scored in a 2–1 WNL Cup final win over Wexford Youths.

[42] O'Gorman was called-up to the senior panel for the 2006 Algarve Cup and made her debut in Ireland's final match at the tournament: a 4–0 defeat by Denmark in Lagoa.

[44] In Ireland's final 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification fixture against Israel at the Carlisle Grounds in Bray, she was shown a red card for two bookable offences.

[8] In September 2012, O'Gorman reached a half century of appearances for Ireland, in a 2–0 EURO 2013 qualifying win over Israel at Ramat Gan Stadium.

[52][53] O'Gorman collected her 100th cap in a 1–0 defeat by Norway in Stavanger, which eliminated Ireland from 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification.

[55] Incoming coach Vera Pauw persuaded O'Gorman to reverse her decision in February 2020, as she required cover for injured full-backs Megan Campbell and Keeva Keenan.
