The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has confirmed that Hannah Dingley will leave her role as Head of Women & Girls' Football.
Dingley will take up a new role as with the Manchester City girls academy and is set to depart the FAI during the summer.
Since joining the Association, Dingley was involved in developing the women and girls' game in Ireland, which has included the launch of the Women & Girls’ Football Action Plan which is part of the Football Pathways Plan.
"I’ve taken the difficult decision to leave the Association to take on a new challenge with Manchester City," said Dingley.
"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time working in women and girls’ football in Ireland and believe there is so much potential to build in this area to ensure that the Football Pathways Plan has maximum impact on Irish football."
FAI CEO David Courell said: "We thank Hannah for her time at the Association where she showed excellent professionalism and hard work in helping us to further develop the women and girls’ game in Ireland.
"Having launched the Women & Girls’ Football Action Plan, her successor will be able to continue the important work that Hannah started. We wish Hannah the very best in the next chapter of her career."
Further details on the process for the Head of Women & Girls’ role will be announced in due course, according to the FAI statement.
