Murphy Nominated for Championship Player of the Year - Ipswich Town News

Town striker Daryl Murphy has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Year award.

The 32-year-old, who is the division’s highest scorer on 24 goals, is up against Patrick Bamford, who is on loan at Middlesbrough from Chelsea, and Watford’s Troy Deeney for the gong.

Each Championship manager was asked to list who they believe have been the top five players in the division this season in order with the overall top three receiving the nominations.

The winner will be announced on Sunday at the 10th annual Football League awards at The Brewery in London. Last year’s winner was Danny Ings of Burnley.

Murphy, who won the Sky Bet Championship December Player of the Month award, has already carried off the Town supporters’ Player of the Year, Junior Blues and Platinum Members gongs.
