Ogbene Nominated For Irish Player of the Year Award - Ipswich Town News
Blues winger Chiedozie Ogbene has been nominated for the Senior Men's International Player of the Year award at the 34th Football Association of Ireland (FAI) International Awards.
The 27-year-old is up against Southampton keeper Gavin Bazunu and Brighton striker Evan Ferguson for the gong, which will be awarded at an event on Thursday 14th November at the Aviva Stadium ahead of the UEFA Nations League game between Ireland and Finland.
The performances taken into account are those from June 2023 to June 2024.
Ogbene, who joined the Blues from Luton in the summer, is current sidelined having undergone surgery on an achilles injury sustained at Brentford which required surgery and is expected to miss most or all of the rest of the season.
The wideman has won 28 full caps, scoring four international goals.
