Stephanie ‘wonder goal’ Roche nets deal with U.S. women’s side Houston Dash

“I am so excited about the signing of Stephanie, we are getting a player that has great technical ability, a superb left foot, and possibly the best goalscorer to come out of Ireland since (former international striker) Olivia O’Toole,” Dash head coach Randy Waldrum said on the club’s website.

“Stephanie will bring a wealth of international experience to our team, and another great attacking option that is different from what we have already,” he added.
