Shaw’s season has been nothing short of remarkable. She has scored 19 goals in 21 appearances, pushing towards another Golden Boot.
The Jamaican forward now stands on the brink of history as she is just one goal away from a unique scoring milestone in the league.
It is the second time the Jamaica forward has won the FWA award. Her influence has been undeniable throughout the campaign.
