The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at senior level, making 19 appearances for Liverpool FC Women and providing two goals from midfield.
After a mixture of substitute outings and starts during the first half of the campaign, Kearns became a regular from the New Year onwards to help the Reds chalk up an eight-game unbeaten run to finish the FA Women’s Championship season.
