Liverpool FC’s chief financial officer and LFC Women board member Jenny Beacham said: “This is a key appointment for our women’s programme and I’m absolutely delighted that we have someone with Niamh’s knowledge, experience and leadership back in the building.

“She will be a significant support to our managing director Andy O’Boyle as we continue growing and executing a long-term football strategy for our women’s team.”

Fahey returned to the AXA Melwood Training Centre last month and is already re-established within the building in her new role.

As well as her on-field achievements, Fahey recently completed a master’s degree in business administration (MBA), graduating in July from Liverpool John Moores University, as well as completing her UEFA B coaching licence through the PFA. She also holds a master’s degree in pharmacology.

O’Boyle added: “I’m thrilled that Niamh agreed to take on what will be an extremely important position within our women’s staff, elevating our sporting standards and contributing to the long-term development of the women’s programme.

“She will be a highly visible presence and involved in collaboration across our wider FSG football executive, maintaining alignment with the club’s broader identity, ensuring shared values, philosophy and high-performance levels.

“I know our fans will join me in giving her a warm welcome back to the club.”
