Swansea goalkeeper Freddie Woodman won the Sky Bet Championship Golden Glove award for the 2020/21 season while Brentford striker Ivan Toney secured the Golden Boot.
Woodman, who has spent the last two seasons on loan from Newcastle, finished the season with 20 clean sheets, two ahead of Norwich's Tim Krul.
Woodman played all but one of the Swans' Championship fixtures this season, as Steve Cooper's men secured a place in the play-offs for the second season in a row.

Woodman said: "I feel guilty for accepting it because many people look at clean sheets as down to the goalkeeper, but I know how hard the team has worked for clean sheets. Every clean sheet we've had this season, after the game it's always been a collective congratulations to everyone.
"While my name is on the award, it's the team that has really won the award. Every player has played their part and should feel.
"It's a massive team effort, and it's an amazing achievement to keep 20 clean sheets in the Championship. Keeping clean sheets gives the team a huge opportunity to win matches, and it's put us in a great position in the league.
"Hopefully we can take this into the play-offs."
Toney wins Sky Bet Championship Golden Boot
Toney scored 31 goals to win the Golden Boot award ahead of Blackburn's Adam Armstrong on 28 and Norwich's Teemu Pukki on 26.
Toney, who also won the 2019/20 Sky Bet League One Golden Boot, said: "It means a lot to win this award again. I set out to win it at the start of the season; it hasn't been won back-to-back for a while so that was something I wanted to do.
"It is a big achievement but one I obviously couldn't have done without the support of my team-mates as well as Thomas Frank and the coaching staff."
Clarke-Harris wins Sky Bet League One Golden Boot
Peterborough United striker Jonson Clarke-Harris has won the Sky Bet League One Golden Boot award.
Filling the shoes of last year's Golden Boot winner Ivan Toney was never going to be easy, but Clarke-Harris has been more than up to the task, scoring 31 goals and inspiring his side to the Sky Bet Championship in the process.
With a goal every 126 minutes in the league for Clarke-Harris, it's no surprise that Darren Ferguson's men find themselves the top scorers in the division once again, and secured promotion with games to spare.
Clarke-Harris said: "It has been a great season for me personally. I said about a month ago that the individual trophies wouldn't mean as much if we didn't get promotion but now that has been achieved I can look back and be proud of the season that I have had.
"I want to say thank you to my team-mates because without them I wouldn't have achieved the goals that I have done"
Maxwell wins Sky Bet League One Golden Glove
Blackpool goalkeeper Chris Maxwell has won the Sky Bet League One Golden Glove award.
Maxwell was rested for the 1-0 final day win against Bristol Rovers, which secured Blackpool a third-placed finish and a play-off semi-final against Oxford to come, ending the season with a tally of 21.
Maxwell made 43 appearances for the Seasiders, giving him a clean sheet rate of more than 50 per cent, the highest in in League One this season among those playing at least 10 games.
Maxwell said: "I'm absolutely delighted. This award is massive, not only for me but for the whole team. The manager has worked hard on how we prepare defensively and that has shown in the amount of clean sheets that we've had this season.
"This award is certainly one you set a goal for at the start of the season and to have a 50 per cent ratio for clean sheets is something that I'll look back on for the whole of my career as one of my finest moments and finest seasons that I've had."
Mullin wins Sky Bet League Two Golden Boot
Cambridge United striker Paul Mullin won the Sky Bet League Two Golden Boot award.
Mullin's total of 32 goals are the most ever scored by a player in League Two.
The 26-year-old featured in every game for the U's this season, notching two hat-tricks and six braces, and scored an 80th-minute goal to break the record on the final day in a 3-0 win against Grimsby Town that ensured Cambridge finished second.
Mullin said: "It's an honour to win the Golden Boot and this season has definitely been the highlight of my career so far.
"To top off such a great personal season with promotion for the team only makes it even better."
Hladky wins Sky Bet League Two Golden Glove
Salford City goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky won the Sky Bet League Two Golden Glove award after keeping 22 clean sheets.
The 30-year-old - who joined Salford from St Mirren in the summer - secured the award after a final-day shutout in the 3-0 victory over Leyton Orient, with Cheltenham stopper Joshua Griffiths one behind.
Hladky said: "It's a brilliant achievement for me and for the team as well. You can see the support from them all season and I've really enjoyed playing this season."
