Voting has commenced for Swansea City’s player of the season award and picking a winner won’t be easy.
The Swans are sat in mid-table following a transitional season which has had its fair share of ups and downs. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of candidates for the prestigious award, with several players excelling under Russell Martin. It’s genuinely difficult to decide on a single player who is most deserving of the gong. Any club’s top scorer is bound to feature quite prominently in a player of the season discussion and Joel Piroe will rightly be many people’s favourite.
His first season at the Swansea.com Stadium has been a resounding success. At the time of writing, he has scored 20 goals in all competitions and they have come in all shapes and sizes, from cool one-on-one finishes to long-range thunderbolts. He’s also played an important role in creating goals for others. He has looked equally brilliant both as a lone striker and as an attacking midfielder, and oozes class in everything he does.
