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.
