Jetta Berrill (born 31 January 1994) is an Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Peamount United. She has been a member of the Republic of Ireland women's national team.

Club career

In June 2010, 16-year-old Berrill debuted for Albion Rovers, a club from her native[2] Monasterboice in County Louth. Despite Berrill scoring twice, Rovers lost the match 4–2 to Templeogue.[3]

Berrill made her first Women's National League (WNL) appearances for Peamount United in 2012–13, before she joined UCD Waves in 2014.[4]

In 2017 Berrill left UCD Waves and moved to Hungary to train as a veterinarian. She briefly returned to the WNL when she played for DLR Waves during her 2019 summer vacation.[5]

After completing her Hungarian vet studies in June 2021, Berrill re-joined DLR Waves.[6] She quickly recovered her best form, scoring four goals in four games.[7] In January 2022 she transferred back to Peamount United.[8]

International career

Republic of Ireland women's national football team manager Susan Ronan gave Berrill a call up to the senior squad for the first time in April 2016, for the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying fixtures against Montenegro and Spain.[9] In August 2016 Ronan named Berrill in a young and predominantly home-based senior squad for a training camp in Wales.[10] [11] She played in two challenge matches against the Welsh hosts, winning praise from Ronan: "In particular, Jetta Berrill played excellently over the two games".[12] [13]

With Ireland already eliminated she won a first competitive cap against Portugal in the final qualifying match at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin on 20 September 2016. Despite Berrill's promising performance as an attacking right-back, she conceded the penalty kick which led to Ireland's 1–0 defeat.[14] She played the first half of a 2–1 home friendly win over the Basque Country on 25 November 2016, being substituted for Savannah McCarthy at half-time.[15] At the 2017 Cyprus Cup Berrill made another brief appearance, as a 90th-minute substitute for Áine O'Gorman in the 2–0 third-place play-off defeat by North Korea.[16]

Berrill also represented Ireland at the 2013 and 2017 Summer Universiades.[17]
