Kascie Weir: Who is NI’s ‘unassuming but exciting’ new striker?
Weir eventually joined Glentoran on September 15, 2022 and became increasingly a regular on Kim Turner’s side.
After winning the league title and the Irish Cup title medal in 2023, she took another step forward in 2024 and scored seven goals in 22 league matches.
It’s not a bad number for someone who teenagers find their feet in a top flight, but the fact that there’s a lot of benches makes this a player that can make an impact.
Northern Ireland midfielder Joely Andrews said: “Kascie is a very exciting player. She is very fast, very skilled and is truly ninth.
“She loves getting shots at any chance and has great qualities in and around the box.”
Glendoland captain Jess Foy said Will’s work ethics can help her stand out in the midst of what hasn’t changed in youth football.
“Kascie is very unhesitant, walking quietly at her job, and her work speed is excellent for a child at such a young age.
“She is still young and growing, so she is getting stronger and stronger year by year.
“For me, she was really exciting and had something.
“She doesn’t need a lot of opportunities. Even if she’s on the bench, she knows she’s going to have one or two goals. You can count on her.”
