Defensive players dominated at the awards, which was unsurprising for a team that have struggled at the top end of the pitch again this season.

Central defender Shad Ogie – a summer signing from Leyton Orient – took the young player-of-the-year award.

The 22-year-old has played 44 games for the team on his debut season for the club.

Defensive midfielder Ethan Coleman was voted by his peers as the players’ player-of-the-year.

Coleman, 24, has made 47 appearances for the Gills this season.
