End Of Season Awards Night Review

Derby County's annual End of Season Awards event took place at the iPro Stadium on Monday evening – with Will Hughes claiming the Rams’ Club Player of the Year Award.

Hughes was named as this year's winner at the event, off the back of winning the Supporters’ Club Player of the Year Award & the Jack Stamps Trophy last week.

Derby County's directors, management and players were in attendance alongside both supporters and sponsors.

Hughes said: “I’m naturally delighted to get both of these awards. The Players’ Player of the Year especially is special because I work day in, day out with these boys and I’m honoured that they have voted for me.”

Elsewhere, attacker Tom Ince picked up the Young Player of the Year Award after starring in a Derby shirt following his arrival on loan from Hull City earlier in the season. His impressive goals return, as well as a number of assists, put him to the front of the queue despite strong competition for the trophy.

The Goal of the Season Award was lifted by Jeff Hendrick for his outstanding equalising goal at Millwall last month, following a vote by those in attendance on the evening.

The Players’ Player of the Year Award also went to Will Hughes, who was voted by the Derby squad as their top performer during the campaign.

Chris Martin lifted Highest Goalscorer Award for the second season in a row, after once again surpassing the 20 goal mark, while goalkeeper Lee Grant picked up the Save of the Year in the game against Middlesbrough.

Following an impressive first season in the Barclays Under 21 Premier League Division 2, Jamie Hanson was named as the Under 21s’ Player of the Season.

Samantha Wilkinson, Sponsorship Account Manager at the club, claimed the Brain Clough Award for their off-the-field efforts while Head of Tickets, Analytics & Technology, Brandon Furse, lifted the President's Award.

Academy youngsters Matt Yates and Offrande Zanzala also picked up gongs on the night; highlighting the progress they have made in the last year with the Scholar of the Year and Academy Player of the Year Awards.
