Shamrock Rovers F.C. is delighted to announce the appointment of Gavin Hughes as the Senior Women’s First Team Manager ahead of the 2027 season.
Speaking at his delight to get the Rovers role, Gavin said “It’s a real privilege to take on the role of manager at Rovers, and I want to see this women’s senior team continue to grow, progress and achieve what it is capable of.
What matters most is the club, the players and the people who support it. I want to build an environment where everyone feels valued, standards are high, everyone fights for each other and wearing the Rovers badge means something special.
The players will be at the heart of everything we do. I want a group that plays with passion, pride, togetherness and commitment, and that gives everything for this club every time they step onto the pitch.
I’m looking forward to getting to work and bringing everyone together behind one common goal”.
"We’re delighted to welcome Gavin to Shamrock Rovers. His enthusiasm and commitment to developing young players stood out, and we look forward to working with him to build a competitive women’s team".
Ronan Finn, Rovers' Director of Football
Gavin will meet the squad in the coming weeks as we prepare for pre-season training. SRFC club media will have a full interview with the new manager at that time.
