Aaron Collins' outstanding season has been marked by the Bristol Rovers No10 being named the League One Player of the Season at the EFL Awards in London.
Collins has scored 16 goals and provided 11 assists in 42 appearances for Rovers, as the only player outside of the Premier League to have recorded a double-double in those statistics, and beat out competition from Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan and former Gas striker Jonson Clarke-Harris, now of Peterborough United, to the coveted trophy.
The achievement is all the more impressive given it's Collins first ever season in the third tier having spent all his career in the National League and League Two before Joey Barton brought him to the Mem in 2021 from Forest Green Rovers.
