Midfield Men Get Award Nominations

Josh Sheehan George Thomason goal celebration

The Wanderers’ midfield pair of Josh Sheehan and George Thomason have been nominated for accolades at the 2024 Northwest Football Awards.

The pair both enjoyed outstanding campaigns for the Whites in 2023/24 as Ian Evatt’s men reached the League One play-off final.

Sheehan won both Wanderers’ players’ and supporters’ Player of the Year Awards – as well as being named in the PFA Team of the Year – and is now in the running for the League One Player of the Season prize at the Northwest Awards, sponsored by Armstrong Projects.

The Wales international is up against Carlisle United’s Jon Mellish, Brendan Wiredu of Morecambe and Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Joe Tickle for the award won last year by Wanderers’ striker Dion Charles.

Thomason took a further step forward in his Toughsheet Stadium career as he clocked up over 50 appearances in all competitions last season.

Now a fully established senior player with the Whites, at the age of 23 he qualifies for the Rising Star of the Season prize at the Northwest Awards, which take place at Emirates Old Trafford on Monday, 25th November.

The list of players in the running for the award – which includes players from the top five divisions of English football – will be whittled down following a public vote.
