Manchester City striker scored 12 goals in 14 matches this season
Meet Bunny Shaw: a Jamaican Goal‑Machine Glides Back Into the Spotlight
Bunny Shaw was just delivered another golden trophy – the Barclays Women’s Super League Golden Boot – and guess what? It’s her second straight season of shattering record books and scoring fireworks on the pitch. Yes, she’s still a work‑horse in the dog‑eared kits of Manchester City, and her name is practically written on the back of every goal‑scoring billboard.
Goal‑style Statistics That Beat the Odds
- 12 goals in 14 matches this season – a 0.85 goals/game average that would make strikers glow green with envy.
- Her sixth hat‑trick this season came at Tottenham, clinching a WSL record for most hat‑tricks by a single player.
- Across two seasons, 33 goals in 32 games – that’s basically one goal per match, and a few extras.
- Ended the season early with an injury against Chelsea, but the injuries are no match for her spirit and skill.
Beyond the Numbers: Awards and Accolades
Last season, the Football Writers’ Association (FWA) named her Women’s Footballer of the Year, and the Women’s Super League crowned her Player of the Year. Those trophies keep rolling on the shelf, proving at just 20 something years old, Bunny has already made the history book.
Early Career – Title‑Grabbing College Days
Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) was the springboard that turned Bunny from a rising star to a blazing goal‑conqueror. She played in 2015‑16 and 2016‑17, netting 24 goals in 21 games for the Tigers. The golden streak didn’t stop there:
- Named NJCAA Division I First Team All‑American.
- Earned NSCAA Junior College Division I All‑American honors.
- Helped the Tigers reach the National Championship finals in 2015 and return to the nationals next year.
University of Tennessee – A Pro‑Ready Finale
Before jumping into the professional arena, Bunny seasoned her craft at The University of Tennessee and etched herself as another All‑American. That extra campus stint only augmented her confidence, making the next step to Manchester City a natural leap.
Quick Takeaway: Bunny’s Legacy in Minutes
From her mid‑field hauls on the Hemi‑squads to scoring at every finals buzzer in the WSL, Bunny Shaw shows what it means to never miss a goal, even when the world rewrites its expectations. Call her unstoppable, call her gutsy, or simply call her a ball‑drumming, hat‑trick‑shattering, golden‑boot‑wielding legend. And the next season? The beer is on her, but the dream continues.
