Maya Le Tissier has won the Betway hannel Islands Sports Personality of the Year

The 17-year-old successfully worked her way up to the first team from the club’s dual career academy side last season, and made her debut in a 5-1 win over Crystal Palace in a Continental League Cup tie in December 2018.

She followed that up with her FA Women’s Super League debut against Chelsea and went on to captain England’s under-17s at last summer’s UEFA Women’s U17 Championship.

It was then announced that Le Tissier would put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year contract once she turns in 18 in April, continuing a remarkable rise to prominence for the youngster.

Le Tissier beat off competition from Guernsey athlete Cameron Chalmer, Jersey shooter Cameron Pirouet and Jersey swimmer Harry Shalmon for the prestigious prize.
