Hannah Coan, a Blackburn Rovers Ladies player sponsored by Vista Panels, has been named Rovers Ladies Young Player and Players’ Player of the Season.
Last year, the composite door and PVC-U panels manufacturer sponsored Hannah, the daughter of one of their employees, for the 2021/22 FA Women’s Championship season.
The 21-year-old defender commented: “It feels really good to be named Young Player of the Season, especially after a tough season last year. This year has been more positive for me, and I think that I’ve really developed. It’s just a really nice way to end the season.
“To also be named Players’ Player of the Season shows my teammates’ appreciation for me and the confidence they have in me, which means a lot.
“Since sponsoring me last year, Vista has been there to support me and cheer me on, which has really meant a lot to me.”
Ian Smith, Vista’s business development and marketing manager, commented: “As the daughter of one of our valued employees, we decided to sponsor Hannah last year when she started playing first team football for Blackburn. We’ve been following her progress ever since, giving her our full backing and support, and we’re very proud to see her win two prestigious awards.”
