Niamh Cashin
Back – Nottingham, England/Sheffield FC

A 5-foot-8-inch defender from Nottingham, England, Cashin will be joining the Broncs this fall. She signed for Sheffield FC in the F.A Women's Super League (FAWSL) 2 in September, making her first appearances against Liverpool and Sunderland in the Continental Cup. Cashin started 10 games during the 2017-18 FAWSL season and scored her first goal against Millwall on May 6th. Prior to joining Sheffield FC, Cashin was a member of Mansfield Town Boys and Notts County WFC, making her first appearance for the senior team against Chelsea in the final league match of the 2016 FAWSL season.

At the international level Cashin was a two-time member of the English Schools Football Association (ESFA) U15s girls' team, winning the Bob Docherty International Cup in 2014 and captaining the representative team in 2015. Cashin has been involved with the England Youth National team at the U.15 and U.17 level and is currently a member of England U.18's.

Hounsome on Cashin:
"After watching Niamh play it was clear she has enormous potential. She understands the game well, is good in the air, strong in the tackle and composed on the ball – key elements to making our defensive unit successful. Niamh's experience playing 90 minutes of senior football in WSL2 the last few months and her involvement with England U-18's will help her come in and be ready to compete straight away in the MAAC."
