Claudia Jenkins has been voted by her peers as the winner of the Austraffic PFA A-League Women Player of the Month Award for January
Jenkins’ rise to prominence has been one of the great stories of the A-League Women’s season to date.
Jenkins has been Adelaide’s first-choice keeper this season after usurping Annalee Grove and hasn’t looked back, solidifying herself as one of the in-form goalkeepers in the competition.
