JOSH Sheehan landed a quartet of honours when Newport County AFC held a virtual end of season awards ceremony.
The 25-year-old was named as player of the year and players' player of the year, while the midfielder also scooped the Disabled Supporters Association player of the year and the away player of the year honour voted for by the County supporters club.
Sheehan had a fine campaign after dropping deeper to dictate play from the heart of midfield, making 42 appearances and scoring against Scunthorpe and Swindon.
Forward Tristan Abrahams was young player of the year and was also lauded for making most appearances while striker Padraig Amond won the fair play award to go along with his top goal scorer trophy.
George Nurse won goal of the year for his stunning long-range strike against Carlisle United at Rodney Parade while Ethan Ross was the academy award winner.
County's supporters club voted utility man Scot Bennett, who has left Rodney Parade because the club cannot offer fresh contracts because of the financial hit from the coronavirus pandemic, as their player of the year while Abrahams won young player of the year.
