Rochdale defender Craig Dawson has been rewarded for his stunning form this season by being named as the League Two Player of the Year at Sunday night's Football League Awards in London.

The 19-year-old only made his professional debut on the opening day of the season, but has scored a staggering 11 goals in helping Dale look likely to secure a first promotion since 1969.

Commenting on the award, outgoing Football League chairman Lord Mawhinney said: "Once again these awards have given us the opportunity to honour those clubs and individuals whose commitment to the game or their local community goes beyond the call of duty.

"The fifth Football League Awards have been an enormous success, and I congratulate all the winners on their achievements."
