Bunny Shaw Wins PFA Players’ Player of the Year 2026

At the 2026 PFA Awards held on August 26 at the Manchester Opera House, Bunny Shaw and Olivia Smith were the main attractions, each receiving prestigious individual awards in women's football. Bunny Shaw, a forward for Manchester City, was honored as the women's PFA Players’ Player of the Year.

During the 2025/26 season, Shaw scored 21 goals, contributing significantly to Manchester City's triumph in the Women’s Super League, and secured her third consecutive WSL Golden Boot. This award marks the second time Shaw has received the PFA’s top individual accolade, having previously won it in the 2023/24 season.

At 29 years old, Shaw continues to be a formidable presence in the league, and the recognition from her peers—fellow professional players—adds to the significance of this honor, as it reflects her impact on the game and the respect she commands from those who compete against her.
