Shaw enjoyed a phenomenal season in front of goal in 2022/23, finishing the campaign with 31 strikes in just 30 appearances in all competitions.
She’d broken the record for the most goals in a single season for our Women’s team by March and would even be included in both the PFA Team of the Year and 2023 Ballon d’Or shortlist.
The Jamaican international enjoyed a particular standout game in early March against Tottenham Hotspur, when her hat-trick helped City to a 3-1 win at the Joie Stadium.

Well, all except for one!
In Rise: The Story of our Season, the forward looks back on a friendly bet that she’d made with Sandy MacIver ahead of the clash.
Following a conversation at breakfast, our goalkeeper had promised to copy Bunny’s braids if she grabbed a hat-trick against Spurs.
When the Jamaican held up her side of the bargain, Sandy obliged – much to the amusement of the rest of the squad!
