Josh Brownhill – Premier League Player of the Year

Owen Dodgson – The Athletic’s Rising Star of the Season

Millie Ravening – The Athletic’s Women’s Rising Star of the Season

Brownhill is a candidate for the Premier League Player of the Year, adding to his award as one of the Club’s PFA Community Champions for the 2021/22 season for his contribution to the local community.

The midfielder – who earlier this week was also nominated for the PFA Vertu Motors Fans’ Player of the Month for August – missed just three league games last term, scoring three times.

Full back Dodgson, 19, meanwhile is in the running to pick up the Rising Star of the Season award, sponsored by The Athletic.

Penning a three-year extension to his contract ahead of the start of this season, the 2021/22 campaign saw Dodgson make his first-team debut against Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup.

The equivalent prize in the women’s game includes a nomination for creative midfielder Millie Ravening, who netted 12 times in the Northern Premier Division of the FA Women’s National League last term as Burnley finished 4th.
