Club career[]
Boyle-Carr is from Glenties. She played youth soccer for Lagan Harps and Donegal Town,[1] and represented Donegal in the Gaynor Cup. In January 2017 she signed for Sion Swifts of the Northern Ireland Women's Premiership.[2]
International career[]
Boyle-Carr has been capped for the Republic of Ireland national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[3] Impressed by her performances with the Republic of Ireland under-17s, Ireland coach Colin Bell named 16-year-old Boyle-Carr in his senior squad for two friendlies with Portugal at the Estádio de São Miguel, Ponta Delgada, in January 2018.[1]
She won her first senior cap on 10 April 2018, in a 2–0 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying defeat by European champions the Netherlands at Tallaght Stadium. Boyle-Carr had acquired tickets to attend the match as a supporter, so was surprised to be picked to play.[4]
