TOWN ................... 0 Schindy picks up double honour at Town awards

at Wembley last May sealed the club’s promotion to the Premier League.

Since then the player has gone from strength to strength in the topflight, an ever-present at the heart of a defence which has earned nine clean sheets so far this campaign.

Schindler’s award of the Hargreaves Memorial Huddersfield Town Player of the Year, sponsored by Thornton & Ross, came after a vote held by the Huddersfield Examiner, with the player picking up an impressive 57 per cent of the votes cast.

Florent Hadergjonaj, who is set to make his season-long loan move from Bundesliga 2 side Ingolstadt 04 permanent this summer, also picked up two awards.

The Swiss full-back claimed the Players’ Young Player of the Year and President’s Prize for an outstanding first season at the club.

However, the largest cheer of the night was for Duncan Haigh – the 86-year-old recognised with the Contribution to the Club Award after 72 years as a turnstile supervisor.

Other light-hearted moments included Tommy Smith receiving an award for being the Biggest Motormouth and Rajiv van La Parra and Terence Kongolo for ‘Bromance of the Year.’
