Central midfielder Emily Joyce is now in her sixth successive season with Derby County Women.
Joyce was previously in the Derby County Women Centre of Excellence and, following a spell with Birmingham City Women, she returned home in 2018.
The midfielder was named as the Fans’ Player of the Season for the 2018/19 campaign and, after suffering an ACL knee injury soon afterwards, she has bounced back to remain a key player in the team.
She was Player of the Season in the 2022/23 season and, going into the new campaign, had 93 matches and 16 goals to her name - including the opening goal in the team’s 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in October 2021.
