The International Federation of Football History (IFFHS) announced its 2017 rankings with Kerr gaining votes from 91 countries.

It caps a phenomenal year for the Perth Glory striker after being named the Australian Sports Woman of the Year, the ABC Sports Personality of the Year, the MVP of the USA National League, the Julie Dolan Medal for Australia's W-League and Asian Women's Footballer of the Year.

Carrying on her fantastic form, Kerr scored a hat-trick in seven minutes for the Glory on Saturday to help her side to a 3-3 draw with Newcastle.

"I think I can still get better and have a lot of learning and growing up to do," the 24-year-old Kerr said following her hat-trick.

"Hopefully I can become even better in the next three or four years."
