CLARETS captain Tom Heaton was the toast of Burnley fans as he claimed the Supporters’ Player of the Year title at the annual awards evening at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.

Heaton topped the vote of around 400 supporters from various fan groups to take the overall award with defensive pair Michael Keane and Ben Mee also among the winners in the individual supporter honours.

And Jeff Hendrick's stunning strike against Bournemouth also featured highly in the respective goal of the season categories.

But it was Heaton who took top billing and the Clarets No.1 was delighted to have capped his night with the award.

He said: “It was a wonderful night enjoyed by all the players.

“Many thanks to the supporters for putting it on and the awards they voted for and presented.

“I was honoured to receive those I did and I know the other lads felt the same.

“As the manager said at the end of the evening, the support we get home and away is always appreciated and we will need it again over the final few games to help us all achieve our goal.”
