Los Angeles: Samantha Kerr’s exceptional year in international football continued on Thursday when she was honoured with an award at the 2018 Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly (ESPY) Awards held in Los Angeles, California.
The ESPY Awards, held annually since 1993, recognises individual and team athletic achievements and other sports-related performances.
The 2017 AFC Player of the Year, who will join the Matildas for matches against Brazil, United States and Japan at the 2018 Tournament of Nations next week, joined some of the biggest names in world sport at the event.
"Getting the chance to attend the ESPYs and rub shoulders with my idols is one thing but to win this big award is out of this world," revealed Kerr after claiming the award.
