Doncaster Rovers captain on four-man shortlist for top gong at this year's EFL Awards
It's been some season for Owen Bailey.
The Doncaster Rovers midfielder has enjoyed an unbelievable campaign on a personal level, starting every game in what is his first full season as club captain.
And of course his goal output has significantly increased from last year. Remarkably, the 27-year-old is on 15 goals in all competitions - by far and away the leading scorer for Grant McCann's side so far in what's been a topsy-turvy season since returning to the third tier.
He's now been quite rightly nominated for the prestigious League One player of the season at the upcoming EFL Awards.
The shortlist was unveiled on Wednesday and Bailey is on a four-man shortlist up against Dom Ballard of Leyton Orient and Lincoln City duo Jack Moylan and Sonny Bradley.
Bailey is Rovers' sole nomination at the awards which takes place in London on Sunday, April 19. It will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Football from 8.30pm.
Last year infamously saw Rovers boss Grant McCann remarkably overlooked in the League Two manager of the year award. He was not even included on the four-man shortlist - despite eventually going on to lead Rovers to the title. Winger Luke Molyneux was up for the division's player of the year gong but he missed out, too.
