The 24-year-old midfielder took 43 per cent of the votes, ahead of Romaine Sawyers in second with Daniel Bentley back in third. It was the former Shrewsbury man’s second award of the evening after he was the recipient of The Bees Travel Club Away Player of the Year prize.
Ryan made 40 appearances at the heart of the Brentford midfield this season as Dean Smith’s side recorded a fourth consecutive top ten finish in the second tier. He also netted the clinching goal in our 3-1 win over Leeds United in December.
Ryan, who has made 126 appearances in three seasons at Griffin Park, scooped the Players’ Player of the Year award last season, becoming the 17th player in history to pick up both the major playing awards.
