THE 2017 FOOTBALLER of the Year will be announced tomorrow night, with four names in the running for the big prize.
James McCarthy, Stephen Cluxton, Andy Moran and David Clarke are the players nominated and the winner will be confirmed at the 2017 PWC All-Stars from Dublin’s Convention Centre on Friday evening.
The nominees, which were decided by a committee made up of Gaelic Games correspondents and chaired by GAA President Aogán Ó Fearghail, were voted on by inter-county players.
Con O’Callaghan, Sean Powter and Michael Daly have been nominated for the Young Footballer of the Year award, but it’s a prize O’Callaghan should win comfortably.
McCarthy (27), Moran (33), Clarke (33) and Cluxton (35) are all bidding to win the Footballer of the Year gong for the first time in their careers.
It’s believed McCarthy – who won man of the match in the All-Ireland final – and Moran – on the back of his best year in a Mayo jersey – are the frontrunners to claim the prize.
