Club Brugge have named Angola right-back Clinton Mata as their Player of the Year for the 2019-20 campaign.
Mata saw off competition from goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, last year's award winner Hans Vanaken, Charles De Ketelaere and Ruud Vormer after gathering 34.94 percent of the total votes cast by fans.
The Angola international played 3376 minutes of football for Club Brugge this season, including 25 games in the Belgian First Division A and he helped them keep 18 clean sheets in the process with his contribution of three assists.
The 27-year-old is one of nine African players in Philippe Clement's team which includes Nigerian duo Emmanuel Dennis, David Okereke, South Africa's Percy Tau, Senegalese trio Mbaye Diagne, Krepin Diatta and Youssouph Badji.
