Award for bravery. Bronze was voted England's player of the season

Lucy Bronze was named the England Women’s Player of the Year for the 2024/25 season, recognising her outstanding performances for the national team.

• The award honours her contribution during a campaign in which she helped England defend their title at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, while overcoming physical challenges - she had broken tibia during the matches.
• Bronze revealed, after the tournament, that she played much of the tournament while carrying a fractured tibia, showcasing her resilience and commitment to the team.
• Her leadership and versatility — often deployed at full-back while also contributing offensively — were highlighted as key reasons for the award.

• The recognition further cements Bronze’s status as one of England’s most influential players in recent history, both on and off the pitch.
