Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and Khiara Keating have both been nominated for Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Season.

It comes with City sitting at the division’s summit heading into our final assignment of the term – a trip to Aston Villa on Saturday 18 May – albeit having played a game more than second-placed Chelsea.

Our striker and goalkeeper have impressively helped Gareth Taylor’s side relentlessly pursue a second-ever league title with a string of outstanding displays.

The Jamaican has scored 22 goals across 25 appearances in all competitions this term – with 21 of those coming in the WSL.

After scoring our third in City’s superb 3-1 win over Manchester United in March, she became the Club’s all-time leading scorer with 68 – which she has since extended to 72 before a foot injury prematurely ended her season.

Meanwhile, Keating has performed beyond her years in the 19-year-old's breakthrough campaign for Taylor’s team – playing every league minute in 2023/24.

The England youth international has been an integral part of the best defensive record in the division with the Blues conceding only 14 league goals so far this term.

What’s more, our keeper has maintained nine WSL clean sheets which is the most so far across the competition.

City’s pair are up for the prestigious annual honour alongside Niamh Charles (Chelsea), Grace Clinton (Spurs), Lauren James (Chelsea), Jutta Rantala (Leicester), Elisabeth Terland (Brighton) and Lotte Wubben-Moy (Arsenal).

Voting is now open but closes at 10:00 (UK) on Monday 13 May - choose Bunny or Khiara by clicking here.
