The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at senior level, making 19 appearances for Liverpool FC Women and providing two goals from midfield.
After a mixture of substitute outings and starts during the first half of the campaign, Kearns became a regular from the New Year onwards to help the Reds chalk up an eight-game unbeaten run to finish the FA Women’s Championship season.
She netted against eventual champions Leicester City at Prenton Park in January and then versus Blackburn Rovers at the same ground two months later.
Kearns, who was also recently named fans’ Player of the Season, claimed the most votes in our Women’s Player of the Season poll here on Liverpoolfc.com to scoop the accolade.
