Conor Chaplin has been named the PFA League One Players’ Player of the Season award, while the Blues forward, skipper Sam Morsy and Leif Davis have been named in the PFA League One Team of the Year.

Chaplin netted 29 goals in total during 2022/23, 26 in the league and carried off the Golden Boot along with his former Coventry teammate Jonson Clarke-Harris, who was with Peterborough.

The 26-year-old was named in the EFL Team of the Year in May when he picked up numerous club awards.

“It feels really good to have won such a prestigious award,” Chaplin told the club site regarding the award, which has been instigated to mark the 50th anniversary of the PFA.

“It’s obviously the first time this has been given out, which makes it more special, and to be respected and acknowledged by those you are going up against every week is brilliant. 

“The club’s success helps with individual awards and I will need a big space somewhere in my house, because it’s a very big trophy.”

Chaplin’s award was announced and the divisional XI named at the PFA’s awards ceremony in Manchester this evening. 

Idris El Mizouni was named in the League Two Team of the Year having helped loan club Leyton Orient to promotion last season.

PFA League One Team of the Year: James Trafford (Bolton Wanderers), Bali Mumba (Plymouth Argyle), Ricardo Santos (Bolton Wanderers), Mads Andersen (Barnsley), Leif Davis (Ipswich Town), Barry Bannan (Sheffield Wednesday), Sam Morsy (Ipswich Town), Luca Connell (Barnsley), Conor Chaplin (Ipswich Town), David McGoldrick (Derby County), Jonson Clarke-Harris (Peterborough United).

SpiritOfJohn added 07:25 - Aug 30 Well done Conor! Also great to see Morsy and Davis recognised for their outstanding contributions. That's a useful looking EFL team - just missing Walton in goal!

JewellintheTown added 08:29 - Aug 30 Excellent news and well happy for him. Chuckled when I read "...I will need a big space somewhere in my house, because it’s a very big trophy." Its just a regular sized one but to our Chappers, every trophy must seem big. Not sure how more of our players didn't get in there, especially Walton.

hoppy added 08:36 - Aug 30 Must admit, James Trafford as keeper is a surprise for me, I would imagine it must've been a close thing between him and Walton, if Trafford was finally selected.

BuckieBlue added 11:52 - Aug 30 Great to see us recognised with 3 in the final 11. Although Connor deserved it more than any other striker in the division, these awards must be a bit disheartening for players in other positions, it's always strikers who get rewarded! E.g. all four of the divisional awards yesterday.
