Cliftonville’s Danielle Maxwell proud to be named Premiership Player of the Year
Danielle Maxwell scored 14 goals in 17 games for Cliftonville
Cliftonville striker Danielle Maxwell has been crowned the 2023 Women’s Premiership Player of the Year.
Although Glentoran claimed the League title, Maxwell was a standout performer for the Reds.
The 21-year-old scored 14 goals in 17 games and provided many more assists.
“I love scoring goals and providing assists, but it’s a team sport and I wouldn’t have won this individual trophy if it wasn’t for the help of my team-mates,” said Maxwell.
“It was a special season as we reached four Cup Finals, but it was disappointing not to collect more silverware. But it’s given us something to build on for next season.
“The most important thing, however, is the growth of the League with bigger attendances and more media coverage than ever before.”
Maxwell’s performances helped Cliftonville go unbeaten in all competitions until the end of June, booking their place in four Cup Finals.
The Glentoran Academy graduate scored in the County Antrim Cup Final as the Reds claimed the prestigious trophy.
A stellar first half to the season was rewarded with an international recall for the summer friendlies against Scotland and the Czech Republic before Tanya Oxtoby later handed her a return and she scored a crucial equaliser against Hungary in October.
