Shaw Shines as Women’s Footballer of the Year
Khadija “Bunny” Shaw has added another accolade to her impressive season, winning the 2023/24 Women’s Footballer of the Year award by the FWA! In a record-breaking vote, Shaw received nearly 80% of the support, surpassing Chelsea’s Lauren James.
This award recognizes Shaw’s exceptional performance as a striker for Manchester City. Her impact on the pitch is undeniable, and her contributions have been instrumental in City’s continued success.
Double Delight for Manchester City
This remarkable achievement by both Foden and Shaw marks the second time in Manchester City’s history that players from the club have secured both the men’s and women’s FWA Footballer of the Year awards. Raheem Sterling and Nikita Parris achieved this feat in 2019.
This double win highlights the strength and depth of talent within the Manchester City squad, and it bodes well for the club’s future.
