Watching fellow youngsters such as Georgia Stanway, Ellie Roebuck and Esme Morgan gain first team minutes at the Academy Stadium, Hemp added City’s dedication to player development and clear pathway were major factors in her decision.
Hemp's ambition, attitude and impressive displays earned the striker plenty of individual acclaim.
In addition to her PFA accolade, Hemp also scooped the England Young Player of the Year award in 2017 and was named a SportsAid 'One To Watch'.
Despite her youth and the attention surrounding her, the humble forward is determined to remain grounded in a bid to reach the highest level.
