We’re delighted to announce that Kieran Trippier has picked up Newcastle United’s official Player of the Year award for the 2022/23 campaign.
It’s fair to say that competition has been incredibly tough following a phenomenal campaign for Eddie Howe’s side but, in his first full season at St. James’ Park, it’s England international Trippier who’s taken the honour.
The defender – a beacon of consistency throughout the season – played his 44th game of 2022/23 against Brighton four days ago, putting in a typically relentless display and providing two assists. Part of the Premier League’s second meanest backline, alongside Fabian Schär, Sven Botman and Dan Burn – with Nick Pope between the sticks – Trippier has missed less than 80 minutes of top-flight action this term.
He could yet pick up another big award before the summer, having been nominated for the Premier League’s own Player of the Season gong.
We’ve added Trippier’s name to the list of the club’s previous winners, which we’ve published in full below.
