Niamh Charles and Lauren James' performances for the Blues during the 2023/24 campaign have been recognised with respective nominations for the Barclays WSL Player of the Season award.

James has been in stellar form this league campaign and is currently Chelsea's leading goal scorer, having netted 13 times in 15 games - with two matches remaining - and has also bagged two assists.

This is not the first time this season James has been recognised for her superb displays as she scooped the WSL Player of the Month awards for November and January.

And her latest honour was being named Chelsea Women's Player of the Season earlier this week.

She has been joined in the list of nominees by Charles, who has led by example this season, taking the armband on several occasions in Millie Bright's absence with injury.

Our full-back has started all of our WSL games, impressing in her defensive duties and going forward, having scored against Aston Villa in our recent 8-0 win over Bristol City.

The England international started the season in glittering form and was recognised with a nomination for the WSL Player of the Month for October.

Charles and James are nominated alongside Tottenham's Grace Clinton, Manchester City's Khiara Keating, Leicester City's Jutta Rantala, Manchester City's Khadija Shaw, Brighton's Elisabeth Terland and Arsenal's Lotte Wubben-Moy.

Voting closes at 10am on Monday 13 May and you can make your pick here.
