Supporters' Player of the Season voting now open

Nominations are now open and will be accepted up to 11:59pm on Wednesday 22 April. 

Supporters may nominate up to three players to be put forward for the award. However, they may only nominate a maximum of one player per club.

Players who have played for more than one NPL club during the season will count as playing for all clubs. For example, Joe Bloggs, who moved from Ashton United to Atherton Collieries, will count as a player of both clubs.

Nominations are to be made by the following methods and only one platform can be used:

• Facebook/Instagram: Comment on the specific Facebook post or Instagram post on the league's official pages.

NOTE: Comments on shares or as replies to other people's nominations will not be counted.

• X (FKA Twitter): Post a Tweet with the hashtag #NPLSPOTS26 and the players to nominate. The tweet must include the hashtag for it to count.

DEADLINE: You have until 11:59pm on Wednesday 22 April to submit your nomination.
