Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic has been voted the Championship player of the season at tonight’s EFL awards ceremony in central London.

The Serbian striker, jettisoned by Scott Parker as the Whites dropped out of the top flight last term, has scored 41 goals in 41 league games under Marco Silva as Fulham surged to the top of the second tier and clinched an immediate return to the Premier League last week.

Collecting his award, Mitrovic said:

“It’s been an amazing season on a personal level, and on a team level. I’m glad Fulham are back in the Premier League, where this club should be.”

Fellow Fulham player Harry Wilson was nominated for the top award – whilst Fabio Carvalho was pipped to the young player of the year accolade by Nottingham Forest’s Brennnan Johnson.
