Manchester City duo Lauren Hemp and Steph Houghton end 2022 with the year offering each player very different experiences, but both were keen to highlight the positive growth in the Women's game this year.
Hemp was one of the England stars that featured in every game of the European Championship triumph while Houghton, the former England captain from years 2014-2021, was left out of the squad and admitted she struggled to watch their success from home.
In the Players' Tribune, she candidly admitted watching the final but found it mentally difficult to watch the games building up to it.
