Michelle Agyemang has been named the Sunday Times Young Sportswoman of the Year for 2025 after her breakout 2024/2025 season.
At the start of last season, Michelle joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan, where she scored five goals in 22 appearances.
Having enjoyed a successful club season, our striker was selected as part of England's squad for Euro 2025, and it was at the tournament in Switzerland that Michelle announced herself on the international stage.
Both of her goals at the tournament were crucial for England, as she scored in comeback wins over Sweden and Italy in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively to win the Young Player of the Tournament award.

Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman also received an award, picking up the Editor's Choice Award, and although the England team was nominated for Team of the Year, they lost out to the England Red Roses rugby team.
