Western Sydney Wanderers striker Sophie Harding took out top honours as the winners of the league’s 10 prestigious post-season awards were confirmed at Saturday’s Liberty A-League Grand Final.

Sophie Harding sits alongside some truly 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 company as the latest name on the Julie Dolan Medallist honour board 🎖️👏The Western Sydney star’s name is in the company of bona-fine Liberty A-League and Matildas greats – and she’s still only 24!

The future is bright 🙌
