Paul Smyth says he will continue to let his football do the talking after he was named the EFL Player of the Year at the London Football Awards.
The former Linfield star has been in sparkling form for Leyton Orient and is currently the O's top goalscorer with nine league goals so far this season.
He was named PFA Player of the Month for October and also bagged the SkyBet League Two Goal of the Month for October for his sensational overhead strike against Doncaster Rovers.

So it was little wonder he scooped another high profile gong to mark his achievements to date.
"It's an honour to win an award like that," said Smyth.
"As a kid you think of winning things like this but when it happens it's surreal and a very good moment, I can just enjoy it.
"I'm quite level headed, I don't like to get big headed about things, I just let the football do the talking and that's what I've been doing this season.
"If people are talking about me then so be it it's nice to hear, but I just focus on me and the club and hopefully we can push for promotion this season."
Smyth was one of four Leyton Orient nominations at the awards, with Omar Beckles also nominated for the EFL Player of the Season, along with Lawrence Vigouroux and Richie Wellens, who were nominated for Goalkeeper of the Season and Manager of the Season.
The 25-year-old is delighted to be back enjoying his football again after a difficult campaign with injury last season.
"Last year was tough for me with the amount of injuries I had," he said.
"This year I just wanted to enjoy football and stay away from injuries and that's what I've been doing.
"Obviously the goals have been coming, and they've been coming quite spectacularly, so I can't really complain about that either.
"We're doing well and hopefully that continues."
