Harrogate's Leah Galton wins WSL Player of the Month
Harrogate-born Leah Galton has won Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month for December.
Galton, who plays as a winger for Manchester United, picked up the award after scoring against Aston Villa and Manchester City last month.
The former Knaresborough Celtic and Harrogate Railway forward has found the net for United 23 times since signing in 2018.
It is the third time a Harrogate-born player has won Player of the Month in 2022 after Aston Villa's Rachel Daly picked up the award for September and November.
Galton, who was a student at St John Fisher Catholic High School, has also represented Leeds United, Sky Blue FC and Bayern Munich in her career.
Meanwhile, United manager Marc Skinner also won Barclays Manager of the Month for the Women’s Super League.
Skinner oversaw an unbeaten month for the club in December, which saw them pick up four points.
