Skipper Karl Ross was chosen as Ashington FC’s Players’ Player of the Year on Saturday night at the club’s presentation evening – and spoke of his delight.

Ross said afterwards: “Every award comes as a surprise because you don’t know about it – but I’m absolutely buzzing to be named as the Players’ Player of the Year. For me it’s probably the most important accolade as it’s your fellow players who vote for you. We are a tight knit group here – and it means so much to me.”

The 25 year old continued: “I’m delighted. I’ve been at the club for five years and feel as if I’ve had a good season.”
