PFA Awards 2025: Mohamed Salah and Morgan Rogers scoop PFA player of the year awards

Rogers is the fifth Aston Villa representative to be named young player of the season, following in the footsteps of Andy Gray, Gary Shaw, Ashley Young and James Milner.

It is the seventh successive year that an English player has won the award.

Villa signed Rogers from Middlesbrough for a fee in the region of £15m in February 2024 and he became a regular under Unai Emery last season.

The 23-year-old featured 54 times across all competitions, scoring 14 times, as Villa finished sixth in the Premier League, reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

He was also rewarded with a first senior England call up in November, making his debut against Greece, and has gone on to earn six caps.

Arsenal pair Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri; Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez, who have left Bournemouth for Real Madrid and Liverpool respectively; and Liam Delap, now at Chelsea after catching the eye at Ipswich, were also in contention for the award.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper James Trafford, who joined Manchester City last month, has been named Championship player of the year after keeping 29 clean sheets to help Burnley finish second and secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Striker Richard Kone – now on the books of Queens Park Rangers – won the League One award after registering 18 times for Wycombe.

The League Two award went to Bromley striker Michael Cheek, who won the Golden Boot with 25 goals.
