George Williams has been named MK Dons’ Player of the Year for the 2016/17 season.
The 24-year-old defender, who also took home the Players’ Player of the Year award at Tuesday’s ceremony, made 41 appearances this campaign and was a virtual ever-present in the starting XI since Robbie Neilson’s arrival in December.

This recognition at the Player of the Year Awards ceremony caps off a remarkable turnaround for the Academy graduate, who was released by the Club as an apprentice back in 2012 before returning this past summer.
Another to pick up an award on Tuesday was Harvey Barnes, who was named MKDSA Young Player of the Year for his superb performances since arriving on loan from Leicester City in January.
Chuks Aneke received the Goal of the Season honour for his superb strike against Peterborough United while he Team Performance of the Year season went to the side who featured in that 4-0 win over the Posh back in January.
