The individual honors continue to pile up for American forward Josh Sargent.
Sargent was named Norwich City’s Player of the Season, as voted by the club’s supporters. The U.S. men’s national team striker was also recently named to the EFL Championship Team of the Season.
“I’m very happy. I’m extremely honoured to have this award,” Sargent said in a club interview Friday. “It’s never easy getting injured like I did this season but I think I’ve done a good job of getting myself in a position where I could hit the ground running when I came back.
“These last two seasons of getting consistent minutes playing as a striker, that’s developed my game and helped me gain more confidence in it..and the goals are flowing now,” he added.
Sargent has scored 15 goals and added five assists in 32 appearances this season, with 11 of those goals coming in the new calendar year.
The Missouri native missed time during the first half of the season through injury, but has since rebounded by delivering his second straight double-digit goalscoring campaign.
Despite Sargent’s best efforts, the Canaries missed out on the promotion playoffs and parted ways with manager Johannes Hoff Thorup. Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is currently serving as interim manager of the club.
Norwich City concludes its season on Saturday against already-relegated Cardiff City.
