Alphonso Davies has been voted the Canadian men's soccer player of the year, after a standout season with the men's national team and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Davis, who grew up in Edmonton after being born in Ghana, was honoured by a vote shared by media and coaches.
"He has been a standout performer for club and country and that is just a consistent reality now for Alphonso Davies," John Herdman, head coach of Canada's men's team, said in a statement released by Canada Soccer. "For club, he picked up many an accolade, culminating with what looks like one of the biggest signings our country has ever seen."
Christine Sinclair was named women's top player on Tuesday.
Davies won Vancouver Whitecaps FC player of the year honours. He scored eight goals, co-led the team with 11 assists (youngest player in league history to record double digit assists) and was selected to the all-star game.
In July, his rights were transferred to Bayern Munich on an MLS-record transfer fee that could total more than $ 29-million. Davies joined the German champions in late November after he turned 18 years old.
