Kadeisha Buchanan was this morning announced Canada Women’s Player of the Year for the third time in the past six seasons.
It’s no real surprise after she collected her fourth UEFA Champions League winner’s medal when playing for her club side Olympique Lyonnais in their final victory over German club VfL Wolfsburg in August.
Central defender Buchanan (25) edged out record times winner Christine Sinclair and finished ahead of Janine Beckie, Ashley Lawrence and Jordyn Huitema, who all made the top five.
As well as her success in the UEFA Champions League, in 2020, Buchanan was part of the successful CONCACAF Olympic qualifying bid in which she earned her 100th cap, won her fourth Championnat de France and was nominated for the UEFA Team of the Year.
