Zan Vipotnik collected a hat-trick of titles at Swansea City's annual awards evening, named both the supporters' player of the season and men's players' player of the season, in addition to winning the club's top goalscorer prize.

Vipotnik has enjoyed a spectacular season in which he has scored 25 goals in 48 club appearances.

The 24-year-old Slovenian was nominated for the EFL Championship player of the season award, while he was also included in the divisional team of the year at the EFL Awards earlier this month.

His 23 league goals have him set to win the Championship's Golden Boot award.

Midfielder Ethan Galbraith was named Swansea's best men's newcomer, after joining from Leyton Orient last summer, while the women's best newcomer award went to Eilish Mitchell.

Midfielder Maddy Murray was named women's players' player of the season at the event in the Brangwyn Hall.

Chloe Chivers narrowly beat Aimee Deacon to the women's top goalscorer title, ending the campaign with 19 goals in all competitions, with 16 coming in the league.

Coach and former midfielder Kristian O'Leary was given the Alan Curtis award for those who have made an outstanding contribution to the club.

O'Leary recently marked 30 years since making his senior debut for the Swans and made 334 appearances for the club.

He has since had spells with the backroom staff and in the club's academy, and continues as a coach in Vitor Matos' set-up.
