Devan Tanton has been named Fulham's Academy Player of the Year.

Tanton becomes the sixth winner of the Johnny Haynes Trophy, with Tyrese Francois, Jay Stansfield, Fabio Carvalho, Sonny Hilton and Matt Dibley-Dias all previous winners. He made his senior debut this season.

Academy Director, Sean Cullen, said: This is a well-deserved honour for Devan and caps a successful season that has seen him achieve his First-Team debut and earn his first international cap for Colombia.

Knowing Devan, his drive and determination, he will not be satisfied with this and will want to push on again and make the step into senior men's football next season.

"Devan is a great role model for his peers and our younger players, someone who works hard in all areas of his development."
