Hemp and Shaw up for WSL Player of the Month award
Both players have had a pivotal role in our 100% start to the 2026/27 league campaign, beating Birmingham City, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Charlton.
No player has scored more than Shaw, who has four goals, with our incredible Jamaican striker seeking to win the Golden Boot for the fourth season in a row.
She netted twice in our opener against Birmingham, with one strike in each of the Villa and Liverpool victories.
Shaw also has an assist in what has been a superb start to the campaign for her.
