The accolade comes off the back of Leah’s impressive performances in both of our league outings during the opening month of the calendar year.
Our no.11 scored three times and provided an assist as the Reds registered a perfect month in the competition, with home wins over Birmingham City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Galton saw off competition from fellow nominees Beth Mead (Arsenal), Lucy Quinn (Birmingham City), Georgia Stanway (Manchester City) and Natasha Dowie (Reading), as well as United team-mate Aoife Mannion, to win the award for the second time in her career, following her previous triumph in December 2020.
