Cresswell Player of the Year - Ipswich Town News

Left-back Aaron Cresswell has been named Town's Player of the Year for 2011/12. The summer signing from Tranmere beat skipper Carlos Edwards into second place with Lee Martin in third.

The 22-year-old wasn’t present at tonight's Supporters Club Player Awards Evening at the Cameo Hotel after pulling a hamstring in this afternoon’s 3-0 home defeat to Millwall.

The Liverpool-born defender tweeted his appreciation to those who voted for him or who have sent him congratulations: "Thanks for all the messages, happy to have won the award, means a lot! Appreciate your support!"

Carlos Edwards won the Away Match Passport Holders’ Player of the Year, while Icelandic first-year scholar Gunnar Thorsteinsson, a midfielder or defender, won the Dale Roberts Trophy for the Academy Player of the Year.
