Huddersfield Town midfielder Aaron Mooy has once again been crowned the Australian PFA’s Men’s Footballer of the Year.

The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) Players’ Awards recognised Mooy in a ceremony in Sydney earlier this week, celebrating the organisation’s 25th anniversary.
Aaron was given the award for both his form for the Terriers in his first ever Premier League season as well as his performances for the national team, with Aaron playing every second for Australia in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
He told the ceremony: “To have been recognised by my peers and to have been selected among such high calibre candidates is very humbling. It’s a huge honour and one that I’m very proud of.”
