Wycombe defender Josh Knight has won both the club’s Player Supporters’ Player of the Year and Players’ Player awards for the 2020/21 season.
The 23-year-old, who is on loan from Leicester City, received the award at a private ceremony at Adams Park on Thursday afternoon.
The squad and coaching staff congregated in the Woodlands Lounge after training for the presentation of six prizes in recognition of a number of outstanding contributors throughout the campaign.

Knight, joined the club last autumn, has played 39 times for the Chairboys this season – scoring twice.
He has been a consistent performer for Wanderers this campaign, and is one of the first players on Gareth Ainsworth’s team sheet, as he has started 38 of the 39 matches he has played this campaign.
Speaking on Twitter, Knight said: “Thank you to everyone that voted for me, it’s a honour to receive this award especially as it come from you guys.”
Whilst Knight won both Player of the Season awards, his Leicester loanee team mate in Admiral Muskwe won the club’s Goal of the Season award, with his brilliant strike against Swansea on April 17.
Anis Mehmeti was the coaching staff’s choice of Young Player of the Year, and Joe Jacobson scooped a new prize – Worldwide Wanderers Player of the Year – voted for the club’s international members.
