Michael Spellman has been voted fans' player of the season at Newport County, while captain Matt Baker won the players' player of the season award.

Forward Spellman, 23, scored five goals in 40 appearances for the Exiles in 2025-26, while former Wales Under-21 defender Baker (pictured above), also 23, scored once in 41 games as the Exiles preserved their League Two status on the final day of a difficult campaign.

Midfielder Sven Sprangler was named manager's player of the season despite only arriving on loan from St Johnstone in January.

On-loan Swansea City midfielder Ben Lloyd claimed the young player of the season award and defender Lee Jenkins, signed from Haverfordwest last summer, received the supporters' trust player of the season prize.

Joe Thomas' long-range strike against Harrogate was chosen as the goal of the season, while Nathaniel Opoku received the top goalscorer gong in a private awards night.
