Club career edit

In July 2022 Boyle-Carr made a soccer comeback, signing for Women's National League (WNL) club Sligo Rovers.[3]
International career edit
Boyle-Carr has been capped for the Republic of Ireland national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[4] Impressed by her performances with the Republic of Ireland under-17s, Ireland coach Colin Bell named 16-year-old Boyle-Carr in his senior squad for two friendlies with Portugal at the Estádio de São Miguel, Ponta Delgada, in January 2018.[1]
She won her first senior cap on 10 April 2018, in a 2–0 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying defeat by European champions the Netherlands at Tallaght Stadium. Boyle-Carr had acquired tickets to attend the match as a supporter, so was surprised to be picked to play.[5]
