WWW.HIBERNIAN-MAD.CO.UK YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR - FLETCH!

Just weeks after winning the Scottish Football Writers' Young Player of the Year gong, Hibs striker Steven Fletcher has landed a much more sought after accolade.;-)

Scotland international Fletcher has won our vote to be crowned Hibernian-mad's Young Player of the Year.

The 21-year-old beat of competition from another youngster who has had a cracking season, his first in the first team, Paul Hanlon.

Fletcher scored 14 goals in what was to be quite an injury hit season as the Hibees faded to a weak 6th place finish in the SPL.

He earned his first
Scotland cap in November in a 1-1 draw with Croatia at Hampden and becomes only the second person to win our poll.

Lewis Stevenson won the accolade last season after a superb first season in a green and white shirt, culminating in him landing the man of the match award as the Hibees triumphed 5-1 at Hampden in the Scottish League Cup Final against
Kilmarnock.

Here is the final standings in the vote:

Steven Fletcher: 40
Paul Hanlon: 17
Lewis Stevenson: 5
Darren McCormack: 3
Ross Chisholm: 2
Damon Gray: 2
Ross Campbell: 1
Kevin McCann: 1

Well done Steven.

Previous winner: 2005/06 - Lewis Stevenson
