McQuillan played a key role for Vale in their debut campaign at senior level 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 the title of 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, shortlisted for the SWPL player of the year award.

The Costa Rica international is joined 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.

City’s Claire Shine is a contender for the Kat Lindner award for outstanding athletic and academic achievement.

That award is named after the former Glasgow City player who died suddenly in 2019 and honours a player who has excelled both on and off the field.

City’s under-16s are nominated for the title of youth team of the year, with Mia Scott a contender for youth player of the year and Craig Edwards shortlisted for the volunteer of the year accolade.

The winners will be revealed in a ceremony at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel on June 4.

Meanwhile, City forward Lauren Davidson has signed a two-year contract extension.

Davidson, a product of the club’s academy, rejoined in the summer of 2020 after spells at Rangers and Hibernian.

She is the club’s second top goal-scorer this season with 22 goals, including a hat-trick in the SWPL Cup quarter-final against Partick Thistle.

The forward has made 59 appearances in all competitions for City, who face Celtic this Sunday at Tynecastle in the SWPL Cup final.
