Clare Shine (born 18 May 1995) is an Irish international footballer who plays for Glasgow City of the Scottish Women's Premier League. She made her debut for the Republic of Ireland women's national football team in November 2015.

Club career

After beginning her career with Douglas Hall AFC, Shine joined Cork City Women's when the Women's National League (WNL) was formed in 2011. In 2013 she transferred to Raheny United and collected a league and FAI Women's Cup double with "The Pandas". She also represented the club in the UEFA Women's Champions League.[2]

Shine's career was interrupted by a broken leg and a period out of the game when she tried to come back too quickly from the injury.[3] In May 2015 she moved to Scotland to join Glasgow City after a successful two-week trial.[4] In November 2015 Shine scored a hat-trick in City's 3–0 Scottish Women's Cup final win over Hibernian.[5]

International career

Shine was 15 when she was part of the Irish squad who lost the final of the 2010 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in Switzerland.[6] She then participated in Ireland's 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup campaign. At the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, Shine scored the only goal against Spain as Ireland won their group,[7] before crashing 4–0 to the Netherlands in the semi-final. She had recovered from a broken leg sustained 10 weeks earlier.[8]

National coach Susan Ronan gave Shine a senior debut in a 3–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying defeat by Spain on 26 November 2015 at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin.
