The AFC Women Player of the Year awards, sponsored by Boskalis, took place at The Marcliffe Hotel earlier this evening. The event celebrated the success of AFC Women after a season in which they enjoyed a top half finish on their return to the top-flight after back-to-back promotions. It was also a chance to look forward to the new campaign and the move to semi-professional status.

Four category awards were handed out on the night as well as special recognition awards to Carrie Doig & Captain, Kelly Forrest to mark their retirements after a combined 20-year service to Aberdeen Ladies and AFC Women.

Young Player of the Year

The winner of this award was selected by co-managers Emma Hunter and Gavin Beith. It is based on the contribution that this young player has made to the team over the course of the season.

Our 2021/22 Young Player of the Year winner is Jessica Broadrick.
