DUNDALK HAVE BEEN worthy champions in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division in 2018, which is evidenced by the three nominees for the PFAI Player of the Year award.
Patrick Hoban, Chris Shields and Michael Duffy — who all played key roles as the Lilywhites regained the title from Cork City — are the three men in the running to succeed Sean Maguire as the League of Ireland’s top performer, as chosen by their fellow professionals.
With one game still to play, striker Hoban has managed a remarkable haul of 29 goals. Shields has been a driving force for Stephen Kenny’s side in midfield, which earned him the SWAI/SSE Airtricity player of the month award for September. Duffy’s dazzling displays on the wing have attracted the attention of Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill.
The winner will be announced at the PFAI’s awards ceremony at Dublin’s Marker Hotel on Saturday, 10 November. For now, we want to know your views on who deserves the top individual accolade.
