Charlie Wyke has been named the Sunderland AFC Supporters’ Player of the Year.
The striker has hit 30 goals in 52 appearances so far this season, including two hat-tricks against AFC Wimbledon and Doncaster Rovers along the way.
Wyke was nominated for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Season award alongside George Honeyman and Jonson Clarke-Harris.
While also being named in the Sky Bet League One Team of the Season, which also included Aiden McGeady, Luke O’Nien and Lee Burge.
The 28-year-old also became the first Sunderland player since Kevin Phillips in 1999-2000 to score 30 goals in a single season.
After claiming the accolade, Wyke said: “I’m delighted to receive the award. It’s been a good season for myself, but I couldn’t have done it without the lads. The Head Coach came in and played the way I like, and I’ve loved every minute of it.”
Jim Gilling, Chair of the Branch Liaison Council, said: “On behalf of our supporters, it gives us great pleasure in asking Lee Johnson to present the Supporters’ Player of the Year award to Charlie Wyke. It is fantastic to see a striker, who has scored 30 goals in all competitions this season, win this award. He has scored some great goals and he fully deserves this recognition – and let’s hope his total increases further during our Play-Off campaign.”
