Ashley Phillips is on the shortlist for the EFL Championship's Young Player of the Season award.
On loan at Stoke City for the campaign, the defender has enjoyed a fine season in England's second tier, making 36 appearances for the Potters in the competition - the most he has made in a single league campaign so far in his professional career.
Just 20 years old, it was a slow start to his spell in Staffordshire as it wasn't until late September that he started his first league game in the red and white stripes of Stoke but, after making that first start - a 0-0 draw at high-flying Middlesbrough - he has started all bar two games, including the last 21 on the spin.
During that run, Stoke boss Mark Robins handed Ash the captain's armband for the first time as his side came from behind the earn a 3-3 draw with promotion-chasing Ipswich Town.
Reliable, passionate and determined in his performances, it is perhaps no surprise that no player under the age of 20 has played more minutes in the Championship this term than the former Blackburn Rovers man.
Having also spent last season on loan at the Bet365 Stadium, he has now made 79 appearances for Stoke in all competitions - a record for a loan player for the club.
Meanwhile, he is also close to hitting a landmark appearance in the Championship. Currently on 97 career appearances in the competition, he could still yet become a centurion in the second tier before the end of the campaign.
The winner of the award will be announced on Sunday 19 April at a ceremony in London.
