Rachel Furness has been voted Liverpool FC Women’s Standard Chartered Player of the Month for October.
The vice-captain received the nod from fans after two goals in three games in the month as she continued a fine start to the season that also saw her win the club's and FA Women's Championship Player of the Month prizes for September.
Furness told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s a nice surprise. I was chatting to a couple of the girls and I think it was the Manchester United game which did it because it was live on LFCTV and we know there were a lot of people watching the game.â€
She added: “That team performance showed what we are about. For me it’s about the team and the group of girls I’ve got around me.â€
Liverpool return to action on Sunday when they take on Sheffield United Women at Prenton Park in match that kicks off at 2pm GMT and can be watched live onÂ*The FA Player.
The Northern Ireland international continued:Â*“It’s a massive month for us but every month is. We’ll just take every game as it comes and see where it takes us.â€
