IRISH MIDFIELDER ALAN Power has been named Kilmarnock’s Player of the Season after enjoying an excellent debut campaign at the East Ayrshire side.
The 30-year-old, who represented Ireland from U17 all the way up to U21 level, joined the club last June and has been instrumental in bringing Kilmarnock to the brink of competing for a European finish.
The player expressed his delight at the accolade this weekend, saying: “Overwhelmed to get player of the season last night big thanks to the staff and players to make it happen.
“To top it off a massive 3 points yesterday to take us to 6 wins in a row and massive following from the fans lovely stuff.”
Power joined Kilmarnock last summer following stays at Hartlepool, Rushden & Diamonds and Lincoln City — where he helped the latter to promotion to League Two 12 months ago.
The Dubliner joined Nottingham Forrest as a teenager and hit the headlines two seasons ago when Lincoln starred in an inspiring run to the FA Cup quarter-finals, eventually being knocked out by holders Arsenal at the Emirates.
He has made 22 appearances this campaign as Steve Clarke’s side currently hold down fifth spot, seven points shy of a Europa League spot.
The side have won six league games on the bounce after yesterday’s 2-1 victory away to Hamilton Academical, with Kilmarnock not having tasted defeat in 14 games across all competitions stretching back to January.
