Championship team of the season announced as Aleksandar Mitrovic lands best player award

Aleksandar Mitrovic claimed the Championship player of the season award after an astonishing campaign in the second tier.

The Fulham striker has hit a whopping 41 league goals this season, playing a major role in helping to fire the Cottagers straight back to the Premier League. The Serbian beat off competition from Fulham team-mate Harry Wilson and Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke to win the prized gong.

His huge tally means he is the most prolific striker in a season since the competition was rebranded in the 2004-05 campaign. He surpassed the previous high set by Brentford's Ivan Toney last season (31 goals) and is now just one shy of Guy Whittingham's 42-goal achievement, set back in the 1992-93 season.
