Real Madrid star Bale named Wales Player of Year

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has been named Wales Player of the Year.

Bale becomes the first player to be voted Welsh footballer of the year for a fourth time.

The Real Madrid forward retained the trophy - which he has now won four times in the last five years - at the FAW awards dinner at Cardiff's St David's Hotel to cap a year which saw him win the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Copa del Rey for Real, while his performances for Wales also caught the eye.

The former Tottenham man scored both goals in Wales' opening Euro 2016 qualifier last month, a 2-1 win in Andorra, and he has 10 goals in his last 11 internationals.
