Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and two other Arsenal Women stars recognised on New Year honours list

Arsenal Women stars Leah Williamson and Beth Mead are among those to be recognised in the New Year Honours List following a successful year with the Lionesses.

Captain for both club and country, Williamson helped guide England to glory at the Euros in the summer and secured their first international trophy. The 25-year-old, who has recently returned from injury, has been made an OBE.

England teammates Mead, Lucy Bronze and Ellen White will become MBEs. Arsenal's No. 9 secured the golden boot at Euro 2022 and was also named BBC's Sports Personality of the Year earlier this month.
