University of the West of Scotland (UWS) former student Erin Cuthbert has been confirmed as the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Women’s International Player of the Year.
Erin, who studied at the University before signing a professional contract, has been awarded the prize for the second season running.
The 26-year-old, who was awarded an honorary doctorate in 2023, has amassed 74 caps for her country, scoring 23 goals along the way, pipping fellow nominees Rachel Corsie, Sophie Howard and Martha Thomas.
Erin said: “I’m honoured to receive the award. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, and my friends, family, staff members and, most importantly, my team-mates who push me on every single day.
“I’m proud, but it comes as a result of being part of a team and being successful as part of a team.
“It’s never been anything that I’ve been aiming for in terms of individual accolades, but it’s always nice and it’s a reward for the hard work that I’ve done personally over the year.”
The Scotland midfielder has enjoyed a remarkable season, picking up three trophies in an unbeaten domestic season with Chelsea and voted Player of the Season by the supporters.
