Linfield midfielder Chris Shields has rounded off a memorable debut season at Windsor Park by being named Danske Bank Footballer of the Year.
Shields, who joined the Blues on a three year contract from Dundalk last summer, played a key role in helping the Big Two giants win a fourth straight league title.
And the 31-year-old’s polished performances - he scored seven goals in 40 appearances in all competitions - have been recognised and rewarded with the coveted annual award.
