After overcoming an early-season injury sustained while helping England retain the European Championship, James produced several impressive displays during the 2025\/26 campaign and scored a number of eye-catching goals. <\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was voted by supporters as our women’s team Player of the Season for her efforts, becoming the fourth player after Fran Kirby, Sam Kerr<\/a> and Erin Cuthbert<\/a> to claim the award twice. <\/p>\n

And now LJ can add another personal award to her mantelpiece with this campaign’s Goal of the Season prize.<\/p>\n

The goal came in the first leg of our UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final tie against Arsenal. With the Blues behind, James collected a half-cleared corner, shifted the ball onto her supposedly weaker left foot and whipped a shot from 25 yards into the top corner. It was a stunning strike. <\/p>\n

In the supporters’ vote, James earned a third of the tally, with Sam Kerr’s final goal for the club, a volley against Manchester United, finishing as the runner-up. Ellie Carpenter<\/a>‘s impressive solo strike against Barcelona rounded off the top three. <\/p>\n

Well deserved and congrats, LJ!<\/p>\n
