'It was probably a bold move to come home and maybe an unpopular move to some people'
ELLEN MOLLOY IS living in the moment, conscious not to look too far ahead. The 21-year-old Wexford midfielder is back in the Ireland squad after a testing period. 'I kind of put the enjoyment side of football first the last few months. To be honest I wasn't expecting this call-up, I was just focusing on club,' Molloy says. 'But I was absolutely delighted when I got the call from Carla.' Molloy is one of the brightest young talents in Irish football, but her rise hasn't been straightforward. An ACL injury in October 2022 robbed her of a potential World Cup dream, while her first foray into professional football lasted just four months at Sheffield United. Advertisement The transition was a difficult one and her love of the game waned, while 'family reasons' contributed to her decision to return home in January. Molloy's grandmother, Breda Roche, died in October, having been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer shortly before her move to Sheffield in September. The loss of her 'number one supporter' was devastating, as she told The Irish Times last month, and she knew she needed to be surrounded by family and friends at home, and long-time club Wexford, as she rediscovered her love for football and lust for life. 'I think when I came back from the injury, I was maybe forcing trying to make up time, when probably what I should have put first was getting back consistently playing well and feeling like I was back to myself,' Molloy says. 'I don't regret going over and I can't fault Sheffield at all, it was a great club, the support they gave me was unbelievable. It was just more so the timing of everything, it just didn't feel right for me. 'It was probably a bold move to come home and maybe an unpopular move to some people, but looking back, I think it was the right move at the time. 'I kind of just stripped it all back, took the pressure off and went back to my roots. In the last few months I've started to really enjoy football again and I think you can see that in the way I've been playing.' The Thomastown natove is back lighting up the Women's Premier Division after a steep learning experience, personally and professionally. Molloy in action for Sheffield United last September. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo She's thriving in home comforts, planning to resume her PE and Geography Teaching studies in University of Limerick in September, having deferred the four-year course after one when she moved to Sheffield. She has been teaching in recent months, enjoying balancing work and studies with football again and keeping busy, as opposed to having a one-track mind. It seems to work best for her, but Molloy isn't opposed to giving professional football another shot. 'I wouldn't rule out going away again. I don't know when… I think I've learned a lot from my experience and whenever the time feels right, I wouldn't rule it out. But I'm just focusing on the next few weeks and I don't want to look too far ahead right now. 'I got a taster of what professional football is like and there's a lot more to it than just playing football every day. It's the time that you're not playing football that you have to fill. It is probably something not spoken about enough and there probably should be more awareness around that side of it. I would know what to expect if an opportunity did come up again. 'I probably struggle with too many options, I don't know what the right way to go is. It's just trying to get the balance and just really figure out what the right move is for me. 'I don't really have a long-term plan at the moment. I'm just enjoying my football right now.' Ireland's two-game tour of the US this week will offer a feel for full-time football once more, which Molloy is relishing as she makes a conscious effort to 'bridge the gap' with two team training sessions and a game per week with Wexford. 'The league is definitely growing. You can see it's a lot more competitive. Obviously there is no question there is a difference in the standard between the league here, we're a few years behind, but it definitely is going in the right direction.'

Another local is also making waves in the football world, Colm Whelan of Bohemians, and the pair often crossed paths during their ACL recoveries. 'I'd know Collie quite well around Thomastown. It's not a big town. He did a bit of rehab at David Roche's in Kilkenny and I would have done a bit of rehab there too. We would have been in touch a bit. 'It's great to see him back and doing so well at Bohs. We both never really forget our roots. Thomastown have been great to me and still are. I'm delighted for him.'

And the starlet said: 'It's an amazing opportunity to be able to drive during FP1 in "I'm really looking forward to getting laps in behind the wheel of the MCL39 and supporting the team with the setup for the race weekend ahead. Read More on Formula 1 'I've been preparing well for the sessions, taking part in Testing of Previous Cars tests in the MCL60 and spending time on the simulator, which has been a fantastic learning experience. "Thank you to Zak [Brown], Andrea [Stella] and Alessandro [Alunni Bravi] for their faith in me. "It's a great step within my development with the McLaren Driver Development Programme, and I'm really excited to join the team trackside.' Dunne's star has been rising ever since making his Formula 2 debut earlier this year. Most read in Motorsport The 19-year-old - who signed with McLaren last May - made a dream start to the 2025 season with victory in Bahrain, becoming After being involved in a dramatic 11-car crash in Monaco, in which no drivers were hurt, he bounced back by coming second in the sprint race in F1 Wag steals the show as she goes braless in daring outfit at F1: The Movie premiere That podium finish saw Dunne take the outright lead in the Formula 2 Championship , further growing his reputation within McLaren. Team Principal Andrea Stella said: 'It's great to be able to give Alex the opportunity to run in Free Practice 1, and for him to get valuable time behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car as part of his development. "The team are pleased to be working with him more closely, and for his support across the weekend, where he will be providing useful feedback to help with the car's set-up. "The rookie sessions are fantastic for seeing the talent of tomorrow and enabling that rare chance to get time in a current car, so we look forward to seeing him on track.' Rookies are to be given more opportunities in the F1 under the new rulings made out at the start of the season. Teams have had to run a rookie at least once in each of their cars – so on two occasions in total – each season since 2022. But as of this year, that number increases to twice per car. With each team made up of two cars, that means four occasions during the year when they will run an inexperienced driver for the first practice session of a weekend. UPS AND DOWNS Dunne follows in the footsteps of teammate Pato O'Ward who was announced to be representing McLaren in the Mexico City Grand Prix FP1 in October. Due to the new ruling there are still another two FP1 places for McLaren rookies up for grabs. If Dunne impresses in his debut, he could find himself back behind an F1 wheel later in the season. This season, while exceptional so far, has had it's ups and downs for Dunne, who spoke of social media abuse he received after the crash in Monaco. Eight drivers were forced to retire after the incident unfolded with F1 TV footage capturing the shocking pile-up. There were no serious injuries to any of the drivers, but the incident caused a lengthy delay before racing eventually resumed. The young star He told The Race: 'I got a lot of stuff after Monaco. "Normally I'm not someone who reads things and gets annoyed by them. 'But, I think an hour after the race, I deleted social media off my phone because I've ever received such bad messages in my life. 'A lot of the stuff I got was really, really bad and quite upsetting to be honest."
