‘Bunny’ Shaw Embraces Being a Role Model

Captain of Jamaica’s senior women’s football team, Khadija “Bunny” Shaw, says she openly embraces the title of a role model.

Shaw, who currently represents Manchester City women, has had stints with Florida Krush and Bordeaux in her professional career.

The Reggae Girlz forward has been an inspiration to her peers since her international debut for the senior side in 2015.

The 27-year-old, was last season’s top scorer in the Women’s Soccer League as Gareth Taylor’s side finished runners-up to champions Chelsea on goal difference.

Her performances in the 2023-24 season also led to her being named the PFA Women’s Players’ Player of the year and the FWA Women’s Footballer of the year.

Speaking on the BBC, Shaw says it’s special to know she’s paving the way for the next generation.
