PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Katie Barker – Wrexham

Record-breaker in the goalscoring charts, Wrexham forward Katie Barker has been a sensation in the top-flight since joining from Newcastle United last summer. 25 league goals later, she is a double winner with The Red Dragons, with her pace, clinical finishing and intelligence on the ball inevitable throughout the campaign. Barker netted 29 goals in all competitions for the Red Dragons.

MANAGER OF THE SEASON

Jenny Sugarman – Wrexham

It’s been an incredible transformation at Wrexham, with Jenny Sugarman turning the North Wales side into title winners since joining from Leicester City last summer. Her pedigree has had the desired impact on the Wrexham squad, with the Red Dragons losing just twice on their way to lifting the top-flight crown for the first time ever.  

Iain Darbyshire – Cardiff City
Yzzy Taylor – Swansea City

YOUNG PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Faye Knox – Wrexham

The perfect final piece of the jigsaw. After a standout league-winning campaign with Bolton Wanderers, 21-year-old attacking midfielder Faye Knox returned to the Welsh game on deadline day last year. The former Wales U19 international quickly cemented a starting spot under Jenny Sugarman, scoring nine times in the Genero Adran Premier, helping Wrexham to a first league title in their history. The former Rhyl High School pupil scored 19 goals in all competitions for the Red Dragons.
