ALBION defender Victoria Williams has been nominated for the PFA Vertu Motors Fans’ Player of the Month award for November.

The Seagulls have won two of their three league games in the month, with Williams putting in vital performances along the way.

She helped secure clean sheets in both of those victories against Leicester City and Everton, which have shot her team up to third in the league.

Their only defeat came against Natasha Dowie’s Reading side, who went unbeaten in their three games with two goals from Dowie.
