Kathleen McGovern has been named the ScottishPower Women's Premier League Player of the Month for May!
After winning the award for the first time in December 2024 and earning it once more in April, this is now McGovern's third richly deserved Player of the Month award of the 2024/25 campaign.
The 22-year-old has had an incredible season for the Hibees, with her 25 goals and two assists in the league crucial to our ScottishPower Women's Premier League title success.
This excellent goalscoring form carried into the most important games of the season, as McGovern netted five times in four games during our final run-in.
An Edinburgh Derby brace at Oriam to defeat city rivals Hearts was promptly followed up by a vital finish against title challengers Glasgow City at Meadowbank Stadium.
A second brace of the month for our number 10 was sealed in our final home match of the season, as Hibs sealed a pivotal 4-2 victory over Celtic leading into the final matchday.
While not on the scoresheet against Rangers at Ibrox as the Hibees clinched the league title, McGovern was at hand to provide the all-important assist for Linzi Taylor's title-clinching strike.
Six goal contributions across May 2025 - consisting of five goals and the most important assist of our entire campaign - has earned McGovern a first-ever Scotland 'A' Squad call-up.
Including Abbie Ferguson and Eilidh Adams' respesctive award wins, Hibernian FC Women players have made up 50% of all winners of the SWPL Player of the Month prize this season after previously going two seasons without a single award.
Congratulations, Kathleen!
