Leeds United loanee Cody Drameh nominated for Cardiff City award despite January arrival

Leeds United loanee Cody Drameh has been nominated for Cardiff City's Player of the Year award. The right-back has been excellent since joining the Bluebirds on loan in January, starting every game he's been available for.

Drameh has made 16 appearances in total, chipping in with three assists. He has set up goals against Peterborough United, Blackpool and Stoke City whilst at the Bluebirds. He's also helped Steve Morrison's side to five clean sheets in that time.

Voting is now open for Cardiff supporters to select their Player of the Season for the 2021/22 campaign and voting will close at midnight on Monday, 18th April, following their home game against Luton Town. The Award will be presented by Cardiff City Supporters' Club at their Awards Evening on Saturday, April 30.

Drameh is amongst six other candidates to win the award. Rubin Colwill, Isaak Davies, Aden Flint, Perry Ng and Joe Ralls are the other five players to battle it out for their prestigious award.

It may come as a surprise to many that Drameh has been nominated for the prize given he joined halfway through the season and hasn't even played half of their matches this season. However, the impact he has had has been sensational, guiding them to 26 points from their last 42 available, which has guided them to Championship safety.

Meanwhile, Davies and Colwill have had excellent breakthrough seasons since breaking into the first-team and are well-worthy contenders. Ng, Flint and Ralls have also been instrumental in their fight for survival.
