Chuba Akpom is on cloud nine after clinching the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Season honour.
Akpom was overwhelmingly voted by the fans after scoring 29 goals in 38 games for Boro this season.
“It means a lot to get acknowledged for the work during the season and I’m really grateful for it,” said a delighted Chuba, who was also named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Year.
“There’s a lot of quality players in this league so for me to even be on the shortlist was an amazing accomplishment.
“To win it is like ‘wow.’ It’s a massive achievement and it’s amazing.”
Unsurprisingly, Chuba was quick to pay tribute to his Boro team-mates for what has been an amazing season so far.
“I always try to tell people it’s not just me,” he said. “It’s about the team. I couldn’t do it. I feel like the manager has got the perfect players for the way we want to play.
“The changing room is amazing, there’s a good relationship s between everyone and I’m grateful to everyone for their support and I wouldn’t have been nominated without them.”
The striker was also quick to thank head coach Michael Carrick, who was on the shortlist for the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Year, along with Mark Robins and winner Vincent Kompany.
“He’s a manager that when players make mistakes he encourages you no matter what,” explained Chuba.
“We’re not scared of making mistakes or taking risks and it’s good to have that encouragement and backing from the manager. If you get the ball and do a mis-placed pass try it again, if you have a shot and don’t score, try it again.
“Take risks…and he encourages that. I’ve felt a lot of confidence going into games thanks to the manager.”
