Earlier in the week, 24-year-old Kerr was crowned the Women's Health Sportswoman of the Year.

Kerr's latest award comes after scoring a league-record 17 goals and providing four assists for New Jersey club Sky Blue FC.

She also became the NWSL's all-time top scorer during the 2017 season and scored a record number of goals in one match, four.

Kerr's achievements come after helping the Matildas win the 2017 Tournament of Nations in the United States, over the hosts, Japan and Brazil.

She scored a hat-trick against the Japanese and also hit the scoresheet in a triumphant home series against Brazil.

Kerr also won the Julie Dolan Medal for best W-League player during the 2016-17 season with Perth Glory.
