Bullard Player of the Year - Ipswich Town News

On-loan midfielder Jimmy Bullard has won Town's Player of the Year award. The Hull City man, who joined the Blues in January, finished ahead of last year's winner Gareth McAuley in second and Connor Wickham in third.

Bullard, who has two years remaining on his £45,000-a-week deal with the Tigers, has scored five goals in 16 games in one of the club's most impressive ever loan spells.

The one-time England call-up received his gong at this evening's Supporters' Club Players' Awards evening at Greshams. It's the first time a loan player has picked up the award.

Northern Irish U21 international midfielder Josh Carson won the Dale Roberts Trophy for the Academy Player of the Year.

McAuley was named the Away Match Passport Holders' Player of the Year.
