At just 16, Crumlish was honoured as the Northern Ireland Women's Football Association (NIWFA) Championship Player of the Season in 2024, following a standout season where she played a pivotal role in Sion Swifts' league and cup double triumph.

Hailing from Carndonagh, Crumlish began her football journey with Carndonagh FC before moving to Sion Swifts in 2022. Her tenure at Sion Swifts was marked by remarkable performances, including multiple hat-tricks for the U-19 team.

Expressing enthusiasm about the new addition, Derry City FC Women stated: "We are delighted to announce the signing of Cache Crumlish from Sion Swifts.
