West Ham United Women have made a significant signing, securing Ireland international Jessie Stapleton. The 18-year-old has joined from Shelbourne, the Women’s Premier Division champions, where she demonstrated her scoring prowess with 21 goals in 71 appearances. Stapleton’s departure from Shelbourne was confirmed last month, having achieved two league titles and an FAI Cup during her time there. West Ham faced competition from other clubs, but ultimately won the race for Stapleton’s services.
Stapleton, who was named WNL Young Player of the Year last season and also earned the title of Ireland U-19 Player of the Year, is thrilled to join West Ham. She expressed her delight in signing for the club, stating that it has been a lifelong dream of hers to play for a professional team. Stapleton is eager to embark on this new journey and is excited about the prospect of playing in the Women’s Super League (WSL), which she admires from her home in Ireland.
Joining fellow Irish internationals Jess Ziu and Izzy Atkinson at West Ham, Stapleton believes she is joining a fantastic group of girls. She is eager to start pre-season training and looks forward to the upcoming season with enthusiasm.
Aidan Boxall, the general manager of West Ham, expressed his delight in welcoming Jessie to the club. He described her as a promising defender who has been on their radar for a while. Despite acknowledging that Stapleton will need time to adapt to the WSL, Boxall is confident in her talent and is pleased that she has chosen West Ham as the best place to continue her development. The club is excited to see her in action and wishes her all the best for the coming season.
