Gilly Flaherty amassed 17 trophies during a decade at Arsenal, added five more following a move to Chelsea and is now also involved in media duties across the women’s game.
Rebecca Welch becomes the first match official to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, having officiated in the WSL from its inception, she also officiated on the European, World and Olympic stages, as well as being the first female to oversee Premier League, EFL and men’s FA Cup fixtures. She now works with PGMOL as the manager of the Select Group Women’s Professional Game.
The quartet’s official induction will take place at a special Barclays WSL Hall of Fame celebration event in January 2025.
