From Armagh to Ulster: Niamh Marley’s Remarkable Rugby Journey

This week on The Stand Up, Ulster Women's Player of the Season Niamh Morley joins the podcast to tell one of the most unique stories in Irish rugby.

After more than two decades playing Gaelic football with Armagh, Niamh made the switch to rugby after the pandemic and hasn't looked back. She reflects on earning her first Ulster cap, battling back from a third ACL injury, and why representing Ireland remains her biggest ambition.

The team discuss the challenges of changing sports later in life, how skills from Gaelic football have helped her thrive on the rugby pitch, the growth of the women's game, and why hard work has always been at the heart of everything she has achieved.

Niamh also opens up about balancing elite rugby with teaching, the importance of role models, and what she hopes to leave behind for the next generation of Ulster players.
