The 10 players with the highest FotMob rating (from 0.0 to 10.0) across each voting period are selected as the monthly nominees for the Shark Player of the Month award.
The January eligibility period included Rounds 11-15 of the Ninja A-League season, with games between January 3 and February 1 considered in the FotMob rating system.
Morrissey accrued a FotMob average rating of 8.04 through the eligibility period to earn her Shark Player of the Month nomination.
Scoring the highest rating for the eligibility period, the goalkeeper’s performances clearly resonated with the fans as she finished ahead of the likes of Wellington Phoenix’s Brooke Nunn and Sydney FC’s Heather Hinz to clinch the January award.
