Midfielder ends season as league’s joint-top scorer

Earlier this month, Millie Ravening was officially crowned as the joint-top scorer in the Northern Premier Division of the FA Women’s National League for the 2022/23 season.

The midfielder enjoyed a highly successful second campaign in Claret & Blue, named as vice-captain ahead of the start of the season and going on to feature in all bar one of Burnley’s 32 games across all competitions.

In that time, the 21-year-old found the back of the net 30 times, with 18 of those coming across 22 league games.

Derby County’s Amy Sims tallied up the same figure, and the pair were both presented with their awards at a ceremony in Milton Keynes following the play-off final between Nottingham Forest & Watford which the Hornets won 1-0.

Picking up her award, Ravening said: “I'm really pleased to be getting this after what was a really successful season for me and the team overall.

“I've been working on aspects of my own game to get me into the right areas, and it seems to be working well for me.

“Scoring as many goals as I have done this season has been incredible, but I couldn't have done it without the support of my teammates, coaching staff, and those around me."

Finishing 3rd in the league, and playing at Turf Moor for the first-time ever, the season also brought silverware for the youngster and her teammates.

Ravening took the captain’s armband and led the team out at the County Ground in Leyland, scoring a hat-trick as they saw off Darwen FC Ladies in the final of the Lancashire FA Women’s Senior Cup.

And for the former Manchester City academy star, it’s now all about progressing oncemore come the 2023/24 campaign.

“I'm always looking to better myself, and striving to achieve more, and I think that goes for the whole team really.

"We're obviously pleased with how this season has gone in terms of winning the County Cup and competing as well as we did in the league, but ahead of next season we know what we need to do to take that next step.

"We'll prepare well over summer once we're back in, and be ready come the start of the fixture list in August."
