Johnstone was named Stanley Black & Decker Players’ Player of the Year by his teammates to go alongside being voted the Ideal Heating Supporters’ Player of the Year by Baggies fans.

“I’m delighted and very proud to be given these awards,” said Johnstone.

“It means so much when it comes from your squad, the fans and of course our fantastic Foundation.

“The last year has been a big learning curve for me, going up against some of the best players in the world, and to receive recognition at the end of it is a big boost.”

Congratulations, Sam!
