Several current and former LFE apprentices were recognised in this year’s EFL Awards, across a variety of categories.
Sheffield Wednesday youngster Will Trueman was named LFE Championship Apprentice of the Year, while Lewis Johnson (Milton Keynes Dons) and Felix Miles (Cheltenham Town) claimed the League One and League Two prizes, respectively.
Ex-Coventry City academy player Jonson Clarke-Harris scooped the Sky Bet League One Player of the Season award following a prolific campaign in front of goal, scoring 29 times for the automatic promotion favourites.
Elsewhere, Tranmere Rovers academy graduate Will Vaulks was rewarded for his volunteer work off the pitch, receiving the PFA Player in the Community award for a second time.
Meanwhile, a number of former apprentices featured in the three divisional Teams of the Season, with four named in the Championship, five in League one and three in League Two.
