The former England star-turned-broadcaster tops a star-studded shortlist packed with household names and global superstars as the biggest night in women’s football returns on May 7.

The ceremony will be hosted by Gabby Logan alongside Jamie Carragher, with Sir David Beckham also throwing his support behind the awards as the women’s game continues its meteoric rise.
Becks said: “It’s been so incredible to see the growth of the women’s game over the years and we love cheering on the Lionesses in our house!
“These awards celebrate the very best in the game both on and off the pitch.”

Previous winners include Alessia Russo, Mary Earps and Alex Scott herself – and with Lionesses heroes dominating the shortlist again, competition is fiercer than ever.
