Wexford Youths captain Kylie Murphy has been named the first-ever Soccer Writers of Ireland women’s personality of the year.
The 33-year-old was the outstanding player in the Women’s National League in 2021 as she adapted to a new role as striker and led the club to the FAI Cup crown.
Carlow native Murphy, who has played the bulk of her career as a creative midfielder, notched 15 goals in the league and missed out on the golden boot to Aine O’Gorman by a goal.
