SOUTHAMPTON FC Women defender Tara Bourne has been nominated for the Barclays Women's Championship's November Player of the Month award.

Bourne played a central role as Remi Allen's Saints went unbeaten across all competitions in November.

The 21 year old scored her first Saints goal and kept a clean sheet as they recorded a 1-0 win over Charlton Athletic at The Valley.

Voting will end on Friday, November 29 at 10am, with the official announcement set for 11am on Tuesday, December 3.

The rest of the November shortlist consists of Eleanor Dale (Sunderland), Lexi Lloyd-Smith (Bristol City), and Mollie Lambert (Durham).

Bourne arrived at St Mary's this summer following the end of her time at Sheffield United.
