Jodie Taylor has been named on the shortlist for the Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year award in association with Vitality.
The England striker picked up the Golden Boot at Euro 2017 after top-scoring with five goals.
Taylor netted in pre-tournament friendlies over the Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland before her finals spree began.
The 31-year-old served notice of her intentions by bagging a hat-trick in the 6-0 rout of Scotland.
She then added to her tally with a goal against Spain and the winner against France, England’s first victory over Les Bleues in 43 years.
Birkenhead-born Taylor also got on the scoresheet in the Lionesses’ 6-0 World Cup qualifying win over Russia at Tranmere Rovers’ Prenton Park in September.
Taylor, who was recently voted the Vauxhall England Women’s Player of the Year, is joined on the shortlist by Elinor Barker (track cycling), Tammy Beaumont (cricket), Elise Christie (short-track speed skating), Johanna Konta (tennis) and Bianca Walkden (taekwondo).
The winner will be announced at the awards evening in London on Thursday 26 October – and the ceremony will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
Former winners of the Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year award include Jessica Ennis-Hill, Christine Ohuruogu, Paula Radcliffe and Dame Kelly Holmes.
Taylor and her England team-mates take on France in Valenciennes on Friday 20 October.
They will resume World Cup qualifying next month when they entertain Bosnia in Walsall on Friday 24 November and Kazakhstan in Colchester four days later.
Tickets for the games are on sale priced at just £1 each for children and concessions. Group booking and Charter Standard discounts also apply.
