Gareth Bale named Welsh Player of the Year

Gareth Bale is crowned Welsh Player of the Year for a record fifth time due to his exploits in his side's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has been named Welsh Player of the Year following his exploits for his nation in their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

The 26-year-old has scored six goals for Chris Coleman's side to put them on the brink of reaching a major tournament for the first time since 1958.

Bale has won the award for a record fifth time and Coleman believes that the achievement is greatly deserved due to his fine form throughout the year for his team.

"Look at the last year and he's scored some incredible goals for us," Coleman told reporters.

"All the players have done fantastic, but in my book he deserves it because of what he's done in this campaign."

Bale was also confirmed as the Players' Player of the Year and Fans' Player of the Year in a ceremony in Cardiff.
