PFA Women's Players' Player of the Year nominee: Siobhan Chamberlain (Arsenal Ladies, formerly Bristol Academy Women).
The 30-year-old has been a regular member of the England squad over the last few seasons and played every minute of every game for the last three seasons at Bristol.
Siobhan began her career with Chelsea before short spells with Fulham, Birmingham City and Bristol. The highly-rated stopper then re-joined Chelsea in 2007 before moving to the States to play for Vancouver Whitecaps in 2010.
In October of that year she returned to Bristol Academy ahead of their inaugural FA Women’s Super League campaign, helping the club reach the FA Cup Final whilst playing in the Champions League and being named in the WSL team of the season.
In December 2013 Chamberlain quit Bristol Academy to sign a two-year contract with Arsenal, where she will rival the incumbent goalkeeper Emma Byrne for a starting position.
A ‘must pick’ at Bristol, Siobhan now faces a completely different challenge – but one she is relishing. She says: “My ambition is to be England’s number one so the added competition at Arsenal is what I need at this point in my career”.
