Career
Tyler Toland was born on 8 August 2001 in St Johnston, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland.[1][2] She is the daughter of former Finn Harps player Maurice Toland. She started playing football for Maiden City F.C. while attending Deele College in Raphoe.[3] In 2016, she was voted as Irish under-16 player of the year.[4] She participated in the Galway Cup for Kildrum Tigers in 2017. Despite being the only girl in the tournament, she was on the winning team that defeated Glentoran F.C. in the final.[4] Owing to her home club of Maiden City playing in future tournaments that did not allow for girls to participate, Toland signed to play for Northern Irish club Sion Swifts.[4] In her first season, Toland won the IFA Women's Challenge Cup playing in the final for Sion Swifts against Newry City Ladies at Windsor Park, Belfast.[5]
International career
In 2014, Toland was selected by the Women's Football Association of Ireland to play for Republic of Ireland Schools.[3][6] In 2016, she played for the Republic of Ireland U-15s, U-16s and U-17s.[4] In 2017, she was called up to the Republic of Ireland's senior women's team for the 2019 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. She made her debut for the Republic of Ireland in September 2017 coming on as a substitute against Northern Ireland at Mourneview Park. In doing so, she became the Republic of Ireland's youngest senior player surpassing goalkeeper Emma Byrne.[7] Toland made her first senior start for the Republic of Ireland a month later in October against the Slovakia women's national football team.[8]
