Manchester City’s striker Khadija Shaw has been crowned WSL Player of the Season, capping a campaign that delivered 21 goals in 22 matches. The Jamaican forward also secured a third consecutive Golden Boot, reinforcing Manchester City’s first league title in ten years. Her haul included a hat‑trick versus Tottenham and four goals against Aston Villa, underscoring her lethal finishing and proved vital in tight fixtures.

Contract talks collapsed as Shaw’s deal expires in June, prompting a chorus of “we want Bunny to stay” at the Albert Hall celebration. Chelsea lead the race for her on a free transfer, with interest from clubs worldwide. Fellow nominees included Jess Park, Alyssa Thompson and Ruby Mace, but none matched Shaw’s tally. The club hopes to retain her legacy.

City now eye a domestic double, facing Brighton in the Women’s FA Cup final on May 31. A win would cement Shaw’s season as the decisive factor in both league and cup triumphs. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s Hannah Hampton claimed the Golden Glove, and Aston Villa’s Kirsty Hanson earned Goal of the Season, rounding out a night of individual accolades. Shaw’s performance will be remembered for years.
