Lauren James won the VERSUS WSL Player of the Year Award at the London Football Awards last night – a first for the Chelsea star, and the first time VERSUS has sponsored the award.

James has had an incredible start to the 2023/24 season, scoring 12 goals so far as Chelsea’s leading top goalscorer. Coming off of a domestic double winning season and a standout World Cup performance, James continues to go from strength to strength.

Two back-to-back hat-tricks at Stamford Bridge and a string of unstoppable performances has earned her Player of the Month twice already this season. With Sam Kerr sidelined due to injury, James has stepped into that goalscoring role seamlessly.

At only 22, James is one of Chelsea’s most impactful players and a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. As she continues to improve her game, her future just keeps getting brighter with every season that passes.

Here’s to more success on and off the pitch for this certified superstar.
