Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has received the Men’s Player of the Season award for 2022/23, while goalkeeper Janina Leitzig also scooped a brace of awards for the Women’s Team.
Iheanacho, a Nigeria international, wins the POTS prize after netting eight goals for the Foxes over the course of the past season, including strikes in wins over Aston Villa, Tottenham HotspuNor and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Timothy Castagne, on the other hand, was selected by his team-mates to pick up the Men’s Players’ Player of the Season award.
The Belgium full-back made 42 appearances for City this term – more than any other player – scoring twice.
Meanwhile, Iheanacho is hoping for a quick return to the EPL for Leicester. “I’m so disappointed,” Iheanacho told LCFC TV at full-time. “I have no words. I don’t know what to say.
“I just say thanks to everyone at the Football Club, the fans and everyone that supported us right from the start to now.
“If life kicks you, you need to stand up and keep going. We’ll try to keep going, stay strong, and hopefully we’ll get back up.”
“It’s a bad time for the Club and for everyone,” the Nigeria international added. “We can’t go back now, thinking about it. We have to move forward. The fans were really amazing today.
“Even at the end, they were clapping and trying to support us. It’s a hard one, going down, so I just want to thank them for all their support and everything they’ve done.
“They supported the Club right from the start. We’ll try our best to come back up.”
