Port Vale defender named in Guardian’s team of the season
Reliable Port Vale defender Nathan Smith has been named in the Guardian newspaper’s League Two team of the season.
The full line-up for the team of the season is:
Jojo Wollacott (Swindon); Nathan Smith (Port Vale), Connor Taylor (Bristol Rovers), Pierce Sweeney (Exeter); Kane Wilson (Forest Green), Ebou Adams (Forest Green), Timothy Dieng (Exeter), Antony Evans (Bristol Rovers), Elliot Anderson (Bristol Rovers); Dominic Telford (Newport), Matty Stevens (Forest Green).
Manager Darrell Clarke also gets a mention for the manager’s role:
Manager: Rob Edwards (Forest Green; now with Watford) That Edwards will start next season at Watford speaks volumes for the job he did in his first season as a Football League manager, leading Forest Green to the title and turning heads playing an enticing style. Matt Gray should be a close runner-up for steering Sutton United to a point off a playoff spot and a cup final in their first season in the Football League, while Darrell Clarke overcame personal tragedy to lead Port Vale into League One via Wembley.
