Callaghan retires from Northern Ireland duty
Former Northern Ireland captain Marissa Callaghan has announced her retirement from international football.
Callaghan won 91 caps and led Northern Ireland to the Euro 2022 finals - the country's first women's major tournament.
The Cliftonville midfielder has not featured for Northern Ireland after being left out of Tanya Oxtoby's squad for October's Euro 2025 play-off with Croatia.
Callaghan's final cap came against Malta in April, a month before she relinquished the Northern Ireland captaincy.
She wore the armband on 52 occasions over eight years.
"Putting on the green jersey is a feeling that you cannot explain, and it doesn't matter whether it's a friendly game, a game at the Euros or a competitive game," said Callaghan.
"When you walk out onto that pitch and cross that white line, it's just the feeling of immense pride. It's an incredible feeling and I'm so thankful that I got to do that 91 times."
