GARY BREEN has been voted Coventry City?s Player of the Season.
The Irish international centre-half won the prestigious award - as voted for by the fans - at the club?s presentation evening last night.
Breen, who has become a key member of the Sky Blues? back line, has also been voted Player of the Year by City?s London Supporters? Club.
Teenage goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, meanwhile, scooped the Players? Player of the Year award and the accolade of Most Improved Player after making such an outstanding impact in the first team, including displacing Magnus Hedman.
Goal of the Season went to John Hartson for his header against Sunderland at Highfield Road last month and the top goalscorer award is yet to be decided with the last game of the season left to play.
Craig Bellamy is currently leading the race for the prize with eight goals to his name with Moustapha Hadji close behind with seven and Hartson following up with six.
Manager Gordon Strachan endorsed the fans? vote for Player of the Season, revealing that Breen was one of only five players from his entire squad that could say they had achieved something positive on a personal level this season.
?I made a statement to the players on Friday about the overall season we have had and told them that I thought four or five of them, to a certain extent at least, could say they had done better this year in terms of improving their ability or standing in the game, and Gary Breen was one of them.?
The London Supporters? Club award will be presented to Breen at Saturday?s game with Bradford City. The award is voted for on a game by game basis throughout the season, covering 43 league and cup matches and 2,688 vote were cast for 23 players.
Second place went to David Thompson and Chris Kirkland was third, but Breen joins an eminent list of previous winners including, among others, Gary McAllister, Dion Dublin, Steve Ogrizovic and Tommy Hutchison.
