Forward Alessia Russo has been named England women’s player of the year.

The 27-year-old, who also won the award two seasons ago, has been a key player in the 2025-26 campaign, featuring in all 10 games and scoring five goals.

Last week she scored the third goal as England beat Greece 3-1 in their 2027 World Cup play-off semi-final first leg.

Arsenal’s Russo pipped Chelsea pair Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hampton to the award, which is voted for by fans.

“To receive the award is really special, particularly as it comes directly from the fans. I am so grateful for their support,” said Russo.

“A big thank you also to my team-mates – it is always about the collective.”

England host Greece in the second leg at Leicester’s King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
