Red-hot striker Kelly Brady lands April player of the month award
Athlone Town's in-form striker Kelly Brady has been named as the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division player of the month for April. The New York-born forward has been in sensational form in her debut season in the league, netting six goals from the opening seven games, helping to steer Town to the top of the table. Brady was selected ahead of Shelbourne duo Mackenzie Anthony and Leah Doyle. "I've hit the ground running," the 23-year-old said. "I have a great team to play with and the management too, it's been really fun so far and I'm making myself feel at home here. "I try my best but it's all credit to my team-mates; they are giving me great passes. You look better when you're surrounded by great players. "I just want to be a menace. I want to work hard, make things happen, do well for my team but ultimately score goals – that's what I'm here to do." Brady, who scored six goals in as many games for the Ireland Women's Under-19s, hopes to catch the eye of Ireland manager Carla Ward and assistant head coach Alan Mahon as they continue to monitor players in the league. "There is definitely a sense of encouragement knowing that someone (from the Ireland set-up) could be watching – even if it's from the TV but the fact that the coaching staff are going to games makes a difference," she said.
