Jamie Finn has said will continue to support her Republic of Ireland teammates at the World Cup. She missed out on a place in Vera Pauw’s squad of 23 that was revealed earlier on Wednesday.
Along with Harriet Scott and goalkeeper Sophie Nicholson, Finn will travel to Australia as a training player. Pauw says that trio will be key members of her travelling party.
In a social media message, Finn said: "Today has been a historic day for Women's football in Ireland and a day of mixed emotions for me personally. "People know I wear my heart on my sleeve whenever I play and I will continue to do so going forward.
Representing your country is the biggest honour anyone can have. I feel so privileged to have been part of this squad since the beginning of our World Cup campaign. "Elite sport is difficult and sometimes people face unforeseen setbacks.
