English International Fran Goldthorp has capped a breakout season in the NRLW with her first North Queensland Toyota Cowboys NRLW Players’ Player Award.
Goldthorp shifted from fullback to the right wing in 2025, a move which proved to be a masterstroke by Cowboys coach Ricky Henry.
In 11 games, Goldthorp crossed for five tries, while also registering seven line breaks and 43 tackle breaks.
Goldthorp’s 1,558 running metres were the most of any Cowboys player and the eighth most in the competition.
Her best performance came in a Round 10 victory over the Dragons when she crossed for two tries, while also registering a monster 235 running metres, three tackle breaks and a line break.
