Will Smallbone has been named Southampton's Young Player of the Season.

The Ireland U19 international made a breakthrough into the Premier League club's first team this season, playing 10 games.

The 20-year-old scored in his senior debut against Huddersfield in the FA Cup in January and made his league debut against Aston Villa in February.

"The good thing is that he can play number 10 and number six, at number six he feels a bit more comfortable maybe, but on a No.10 he also can get in the box and create something," Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said regarding Smallbone last month.
