Tuesday 20 August 2024 20:44

Grace Clinton has been named the PFA Young Player of the Year in the WSL.

The 21-year-old midfielder spent last season on loan at Tottenham, and performed consistently well for the north Londoners.

She scored four times for Spurs, and notched the same number of assists, as they reached the Adobe Women's FA Cup final, only to lose 4-0 to the Reds on the big day. Of course, Grace was ineligible to face her parent club at Wembley.

 

Clinton beat off competition from the likes of United defender Maya Le Tissier and formed Red Lauren James, now with Chelsea, to lift the trophy.

After making her England debut against Austria in February, her progress has been continuing with plenty more sure to come.

"To go to Tottenham and get confidence was just amazing," she said. "And to improve obviously personally.

"The aim is always to win trophies with Manchester United."

Clinton also made it into the PFA Team of the Season, which was announced on Tuesday night as well.

Congratulations, Grace, from everyone at the club!
