20-year-old Servet Uzunlar was named Sydney FC’s W-League Player of the Year at the Sky Blues annual awards ceremony tonight, rounding out a brilliant season for the midfielder that included winning the Premiership and Championship double and earning national team selection.

The Sutherland junior played a starring role in Sydney FC’s W-League team’s season, controlling the midfield alongside Heather Gorrick, Kylie Ledbrook, Cathrine Paaske and Julie Rydahl.

After losing the first game of the season, Alen Stacic’s side went on an 11 game unbeaten streak that included nine wins, in three of which they scored six goals and culminated in a memorable 3-2 Grand Final at Shark Park on Saturday 19 December.
