Tyler Toland has been named as Newcomer of the Year at the Blackburn Rovers women.

Toland was announced as the winner of the award on Tuesday night.

The 22-year-old St Johnston woman had a fine season back in England after signing with the club last summer.

The midfielder has played 24 games in all competitions with Blackburn still having to play Sheffield United this weekend.

Blackburn are assured of at least sixth spot in the Barclays Women's Championship.

On Sunday, they overcame Watford 1-0 and are unbeaten in seven League games.

Having been at Levante last season, Toland – who has also had spells at Manchester City, Celtic and Glasgow City – penned a deal at Blackburn.

She scored her first Blackburn goal last October in a 2-1 win at Durham while this campaign has also led to her return to the Republic of Ireland Women's National Team.

Toland was on a self-imposed exile under the since-departed Vera Pauw but, drafted back by new boss Eileen Gleeson, she made an instant impact when turning in a Player of the Match performance in a 3-0 win over Northern Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in September.
