Kelly brilliantly scored twice in her team’s 2-0 win over Bristol City on 15 September as Everton started their WSL campaign with back-to-back victories.

She advanced to lash a right-foot shot in off the post from 20 yards for her first against Bristol at Southport.

With the dust settling on that strike, Kelly conjured an even better one, manufacturing a stunning first-time 30-yard hit which rocketed into the top corner and left goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley helpless.

“This award means a lot to me, it adds to my confidence and shows I have been working hard and doing the right things,” Kelly said.

“It is another indication I am going in the right direction.
