Brisbane Roar and Matildas forward Grace Kuilamu has earned the December nomination for Young Footballer of the Year in the Ninja A-League.
The 18-year-old scored three goals in six games this season before her campaign was cruelly cut short after she succumbed to a season-ending ACL injury in Round 10 of the Ninja A-League.
