Reading top scorer Tom Ince won the prestigious Player of the Season award at last night's gala dinner event.

Enjoying his best individual season for over six years, the 31-year-old has scored nine goals and grabbed four assists for the struggling Royals.

Without an appearance since his father's sacking, picking up an injury and requiring surgery, the attacker's absence has cost the side creativity and end product.

Reading Chronicle:

This is the first individual award since being named Championship Young Player of the Year for the 2012/13 season a decade ago.

Goalkeeper Joe Lumley was awarded the Players' Player of the Season award, a nice gong to win having been voted by fellow teammates.

Amalie Eikeland won her second successive Women's Player of the Season award, while England youth star Luca Fletcher won Academy Player of the Season.

Jeff Hendrick's long-range strike against Queens Park Rangers earned him the Goal of the Season award- one of two finishes from the Newcastle United loanee included on the shortlist.
