Doncaster Rovers star in League One team of year but misses out on individual gong at EFL Awards
Owen Bailey has been recognised for his outstanding campaign for Doncaster Rovers by being named in the League One team of the year at the 2026 EFL Awards.
Bailey was in attendance at a swanky ceremony in London on Sunday night, where he was also nominated for the player of the year award. Sadly, the midfielder missed out as Leyton Orient's Dom Ballard - top scorer in the third tier - swooped the award.
Nevertheless, it has been an outstanding campaign for Bailey with a remarkable return so far of 16 goals in all competitions.
He was the only Rovers player included in the team of the year, which is listed in full below. Lincoln City, who visit Rovers on Tuesday night as they look to clinch the title, have four players in the XI.
