- Cheek claims الدوري الثاني award
- Beats fellow nominees from Notts County and Doncaster
- Veteran scored 25 league goals
Bromley striker Cheek was awarded the 2024-25 League Two PFA Players’ Player of the Year award at the Manchester Opera House on Tuesday evening. In his first-ever season in the fourth tier of English football, the 33-year-old non-league veteran smashed in 25 goals in 45 appearances to help the Ravens finish an impressive 11th in their first campaign in the English Football League.
Luke Molyneux was the only player from the title-winning Doncaster Rovers side to make the six-player shortlist, while Notts County strike pairing David McGoldrick and Alassana Jatta were recognised after terrorising League Two defences all season long. Nathan Lowe of Walsall و Colchester متحد‘s Jack Payne were also up for the trophy.
All of the League Two PFA Players’ Player of the Year nominees bar Lowe were also named in the 2024-25 PFA League Two Team of the Year, with no one club dominating the XI. There are representatives from the likes of Wimbledon, Grimsby و Bradford, though there wasn’t any space for runners-up Port Vale.
The shortlist of players was compiled by members of the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) in January, with the XI then being picked from a shortlist by stars throughout League Two. Jodi Jones and Andy Cook have previously scooped the main League Two award.
Cheek has already found the back of the net twice in his first four appearances as Bromley remain unbeaten and seventh on the points table. The club next face Notts County on Saturday.
