Career
Early years
Tyler Toland was born on 8 August 2001 and was raised in St Johnston, a village in the Laggan district in the east of County Donegal in Ulster, Ireland. 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. In 2016, she was voted as Irish under-16 player of the year. 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. 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. 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.
Manchester City, 2019–present
On 9 August 2019, Toland signed with English FA WSL team Manchester City.
International
In 2014, Toland was selected by the Women’s Football Association of Ireland to play for Republic of Ireland Schools. In 2016, she played for the Republic of Ireland U-15s, U-16s and U-17s.
In 2017, Toland was called up to the Republic of Ireland’s senior team for the 2019 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. She made her senior international debut for the Republic of Ireland in September 2017 coming on as a substitute against Northern Ireland at Mourneview Park. In doing so Toland became the Republic of Ireland’s youngest senior player on record, surpassing goalkeeper Emma Byrne. Toland made her first senior start for the Republic of Ireland a month later in October against the Slovakia women’s national football team.
