Manchester City forward Khadija Shaw has been named the Women's Super League Player of the Season.

Shaw, 27, is the league's top scorer with 21 goals in 18 games for Gareth Taylor's side this season.

City are second in the table, trailing Chelsea on goal difference, with one game left to play.

They visit Aston Villa on Saturday, while Chelsea go to Old Trafford to play Manchester United.

The Jamaica international was ruled out for the rest of the campaign in April because of a broken foot.

Shaw averaged a goal every 66 minutes in the league and also contributed three assists.

Her award follows City team-mate Khiara Keating winning the league's golden glove on Thursday.
