Earps, who won the prize last year, earns the award again after a stunning 2023.

On the field she played a huge role in England's route to the Women's World Cup final, saving a penalty against Spain in a clash that ultimately ended in defeat.

She was also part of the Man United team that lost the FA Cup final, however, Earps has won plenty of individual accolades for her efforts in 2023.

The 30-year-old was crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year in December as well as the BBC Women's Footballer of the Year, while also winning the Golden Glove award at the World Cup.
