David Brooks has capped a memorable 12 months by being named Welsh footballer of the year.
The 21-year-old Bournemouth forward was also named young player of the year at the annual Football Association of Wales Awards in the Vale of Glamorgan, with Seattle Reign midfielder Jess Fishlock picking up the main women’s prize.
Warrington-born Brooks represented England at Under-20 level, being named the player of the 2017 Toulon Tournament, but opted to play for his mother’s country of birth.
At club level, Brooks joined Bournemouth from Sheffield United for £11.5million last summer and has made an impressive start to life in the top flight.
Real Madrid striker Gareth Bale was named players’ player of the year and the media choice award went to Ben Davies.
Fishlock was named Welsh women’s player of the year for the fifth time.
The women’s captain, Chelsea defender Sophie Ingle, won the players’ player of the year award, with Elise Hughes named young player of the year.
