Luton forward Carlton Morris has been nominated by the PFA for the 2022/23 Championship Players’ Player of the Year award.
The 27-year-old netted 20 goals during last season’s second tier campaign after becoming the Hatters’ then club record signing when joining from Barnsley in the summer.
Morris’ also played every minute of the Championship play-off final against Coventry City, scoring in the penalty shootout as Luton triumphed 6-5 to reach the top flight for the first time since 1992.
The ex-Norwich City youngster also made history last weekend when scoring the club’s first ever goal in the Premier League when converting from the spot in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Manager Rob Edwards told the club’s official website: “It’s a great achievement for Carlton, it’s fully deserved.
“Scoring goals is a difficult thing to do and he did 20 times in the league which was huge for us, so well done to him. We are really proud of Carlton.”
The full nominees for the award are: Chuba Akpom (Middlesbrough); Josh Brownhill (Burnley); Viktor Gyokeres (Coventry City); Carlton Morris (Luton Town); Iliman Ndiaye (Sheffield United); Nathan Tella (Burnley).
The results will be announced on August 29.
