Vincent Kompany: Burnley boss wins Championship manager of season award

Vincent Kompany has been been named Championship manager of the season after guiding Burnley to promotion to the Premier League.

The 37-year-old Belgian guided the Clarets to an immediate top-flight return in his first season in charge.

Middlesbrough's Chuba Akpom won the Championship player of the season award after scoring a division-high 28 goals.

Bristol Rovers' Aaron Collins won the League One award and Northampton's Sam Hoskins the accolade for League Two.

Collins, with 16 goals and 11 assists the only player in the division to hit double figures in both categories, collected the award despite being in a Rovers side that are on course for a mid-table finish.
