Sligo Rovers have announced that Emma Doherty has committed to the club for the 2024 Women’s Premier Division season.

The forward joined the Bit O’Red ahead of their inaugural Women’s Premier Division season and has scored 24 times in 51 appearances.

“I’m delighted to have signed back and am looking forward to the new season,” Doherty said, speaking to the club’s website.

“I have spoken with Tommy a few times and can see that he wants us to push on and challenge for trophies, and I want to be a part of that. Getting to the Cup semi-final last season gave us a taste of what it is like to challenge for major honours, and we all want that feeling again.”

New Rovers boss Tommy Hewitt is please to have re-signed the striker.

“To have Emma staying at the club is a big boost for everyone. Emma is a top-quality player and is getting better every season. She has an incredible hunger to succeed and push Sligo up the league. I’m really looking forward to working with Emma this season.”
