McQuillan played a key role for Vale, in their first season in senior football, as they finished second to Gartcairn and just missed out on promotion to SWPL2 after losing to East Fife in the play-offs.

And Vale have also been nominated for Championship Team of the Year, along with Montrose, East Fife, Dryburgh and Gartcairn.

Petershill-based Glasgow City also have a number of nominees up for accolades, including Priscilla Chinchilla who has been shortlisted for the SWPL Player of the Year award.

The Costa Rica international is joined by on the list of nominees by former City player Nicola Docherty, now with Rangers, her Ibrox team-mate Lizzie Arnott and Celtic's Charlie Wellings.
