Chelsea Stars Shine Bright for England in 2025
In a remarkable year for the English national women’s football team, two Chelsea players have been honoured with prestigious awards. Lucy Bronze and Aggie Beever-Jones were singled out by their teammates and supporters, with Bronze being voted as the 2025 Player of the Year in England, and Beever-Jones winning the top goalscorer award.
Lucy Bronze: A Pillar of Success
The 33-year-old defender has been instrumental in Chelsea’s success, earning a place on the Lionesses’ roster. Her pivotal role in retaining the European Championship title cannot be overstated; she scored against Sweden during the quarter-finals and converted the decisive penalty in a crucial shootout. Bronze’s performances were so impressive that she was voted by England fans as the 2025 Player of the Year, beating out Chloe Kelly and Chelsea goalkeeper Hannah Hampton for second and third place.
“I wasn’t expecting it, but it’s always nice to get recognition, especially from England fans,” said Bronze. “I adore playing for England and I have put my heart and soul into every game over the last 12 years. For me, 2015 was a real starting point as an England player; 2019, I feel like that’s when I was hitting my peak as an individual, but this year has been something that I couldn’t have imagined.”
Aggie Beever-Jones: A Breakthrough Year
Beever-Jones, a Chelsea Academy graduate, made her England debut in July 2024 and quickly proved herself as a goal threat. With six goals in ten appearances for the Lionesses, she has become an integral part of the team’s success. Her first international hat-trick came at Wembley Stadium during a 5-0 victory over Belgium in April 2025. Beever-Jones followed that by scoring three more goals against Portugal at the same venue, making her one of just two players to net an international hat-trick at Wembley.
“It’s definitely been a year to remember in terms of Chelsea and England,” Beever-Jones stated. “To come away with the top goalscorer is something that didn’t even occur to me or had in my thoughts, so it’s a nice little surprise to end a great year.”
Continuing Success for Chelsea Women
The awards for Bronze and Beever-Jones reflect the ongoing success of the Chelsea Women team. Their performance in the 2024/25 season has been nothing short of historic, with the Lionesses retaining their European Championship title after a successful campaign that included victories against both Sweden and Spain. The team’s triumph at Wembley Stadium was a momentous achievement, cementing their status as leaders in women’s football.
Chelsea Women vs London City Lionesses is scheduled for next month, marking the latest in a series of derby matches between the two clubs. Fans can secure tickets now to witness this exciting fixture live at Stamford Bridge.
Conclusion

As England continues to dominate in international football, these awards serve as a testament to their hard work and dedication. With upcoming fixtures against London City Lionesses, fans can look forward to more thrilling matches that showcase the talent and skill of these exceptional players.
