Anya McCready is winning plenty of plaudits for her superb displays for Tranmere Rovers
All of the above are, unsurprisingly, among the nominees for the top prizes at this year's Northwest Football Awards , having enjoyed impressive individual campaigns in the Women's Super League last term. But named alongside that crop of top flight stars is Anya McCready.
"She’s only 18 so to be nominated for an award and in the mix with some of those names at this stage in her career is massive for her. She’s still got a long way to go and she’s only going to get better." Mccready's rise from academy youngster to first-team mainstay is very much reflective of the culture shift that has happened at Tranmere since Irvine was appointed manager ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. "We decided pretty early on we were going to make some changes in terms of the squad," the Rovers boss said.
"You have to be pretty perfect and there’s probably about five or six teams in the league that will be competing for that. It’s a bit cliched but we’ll take it a game at the time. We’ve got a really young squad so they’ve still got things to learn but what they’ve done in the past few months will give them confidence for the rest of the season."
"To win it was the icing on the cake, especially considering it’s the first time the competition has been played. It’s nice our name is the first on the trophy."
