Seamus Coleman has been named Players’ Players of the Season at Everton’s ninth annual End of Season Awards.
He was also named Player of the Year in a double celebration for the Killybegs man.
The right-back picked up the honour after being voted the winner by his Blues peers.
Coleman joined a list of past victors that includes Sylvain Distin, Phil Jagielka and three-time winner Leighton Baines.
Defensively Ireland international has played a major role in helping Everton’s lean rearguard – one that has conceded a meagre 39 goals in the Premier League this term.
However, Coleman’s goalscoring form has also been notable, with the 25-year-old having bagged seven goals in all competitions.
Speaking live to evertontv upon receiving his award, Coleman said: “It’s a very proud for moment for myself. These are the lads I train and play with every Saturday, so it’s a great honour to get their vote.”
Coleman, a January 2009 arrival from Sligo Rovers, had one of his seven strikes – his stunner at Swansea City in December – in contention to win the Goal of the Season prize.
And the full-back admitted he has been delighted by his attacking contribution in 2013/14.
He added: “My form has been good and I’ve been happy with how I have played this season. I got off to a good start in the first game [at Norwich] and I have managed to kick-on from there.”
Tonight’s award is his second in as many weeks – after he was named on the Premier League team of the year.
