Southampton captain Fonte lands awards double

Jose Fonte has won the 2014/15 Southampton Player of the Year award.

The Saints skipper was named the Players' Player of the Season and the Fans' Player of the Season in Wednesday night's end-of-season awards event at St Mary's Stadium.

The Portuguese centre-back enjoyed a stellar season which was his first as skipper after replacing Adam Lallana last summer. Coincidentally, the now-Liverpool midfielder took out both awards last season.

Other award winners on the night included Shane Long who won Goal of the Year for his fine strike in last weekend's win over Aston Villa, Vincent Wanyama who took out the President's Choice Award and Matt Targett was named Young Player of the Year.
