Everton stars dominate Women's Super League awards after perfect January

Everton are in contention for a host of Barclay's Women's Super League awards following a flawless January that saw the Blues move up to fifth in the table.

Jess Park and Gabby George, who were both on target in Everton's 3-2 victory over Reading, are up for Player of the Month, while Blues boss Brian Sorensen has been nominated for Manager of the Month. The Dane has overseen a superb few weeks at Walton Hall Park, with last weekend's win over West Ham marking the first time Everton have notched three consecutive league victories since late 2020.

Park and George, whose impressive form has earned them both call-ups to the Lionesses' senior squad this term, have each bagged a goal and assist in the Blues' last two games, with George's defensive nous also helping Everton to a clean sheet against the Hammers.

George's stunning long-range strike against Reading earlier this month has also put her in the running for the Goal of the Month Award, where she will face stern competition from a host of WSL stars, including her Everton teammate Aggie Beever-Jones.

Beever-Jones' venomous effort from outside the box last weekend was the young striker' first goal in the league and also marked Everton's 200th league goal since the inaugural season of the WSL.

The Blues will hope to continue their scintillating recent form when they welcome Championship side Birmingham City to Walton Hall Park on Sunday in the Fourth round of the FA Cup. Information on how to vote for Everton's stars in this month's awards can be found here.

Voting will close on Monday, January 30 at 10am (GMT).
