Missy Bo Kearns intends to use her Standard Chartered Women's Player of the Season award as further incentive to keep improving.
The Liverpool FC Women midfielder clinched the accolade for 2020-21 after a breakthrough campaign in which she made 19 appearances and scored two goals.
Kearns collected the most votes in our poll of supporters on Liverpoolfc.com and, after the initial shock, told of her intentions to harness the honour as motivation.
“Thank you,” she said. “I think it’s a proud moment. I wasn’t expecting it; I was in the car with my dad and was tagged in it on Instagram – we were just both in shock.
