Manchester City and England star Lauren Hemp has reflected on an unbelievable 2022 after she received her PFA Vertu Motors Fans’ Player of the Month award.
It is the second time she has been awarded the accolade, the first coming in October 2022 after a formidable start to the season for the striker. Despite increased media attention on the women’s game, the 22-year-old confessed her shock at being a role model so early in her career.
As she accepted the award, Hemp said: “When I was younger I never thought that I would be a role model. I’ve looked up to so many people like Jill Scott and Steph Houghton who I always wanted to be like when I was older so to be recognised like that myself, it's crazy.
