Mark Sykes has rightly earned plenty of credit for the impact he has had on this Bristol City side in his debut campaign but he won't be celebrating his success as his focus immediately turns to next season.
Signed on a free transfer from Oxford United in the summer, the 25-year-old has proven to be one of the club's most astute purchases in Nigel Pearson's reign, quickly establishing himself as a first-team regular having made 42 appearances in all competitions.
Some players who make the step up in leagues need time to adapt to the increased physical demands and pace of the Championship but Sykes gave himself the best opportunity to succeed by settling quickly into life in Bristol with his young family.
