The PFA have announced the 2023/24 nominees for both the Women’s Player and Women’s Young Player of the Year awards.

The Professional Footballers’ Association has two annual awards for the best player and the best young player of the year in English football, as voted for by their contemporaries. Six players have been selected in each category and the winners will be announced on Tuesday 20 August.

This year, James is in contention to make history as he has been shortlisted for both awards. Chelsea teammates Erin Cuthbert and Niamh Charles are also among the Player’s Player nominees, while Aggie Beever-Jones will win the Young Player award.

Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp, Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and Yui Hasegawa are in contention for the top prize, while goalkeeper Khiara Keating and Jess Park are in contention for the Young Player award.
