Newtonian Jason Steele was a double winner at Boro’s End of Season Awards night last week.
A glittering night was held at the Riverside in association with Boro’s official sponsor Ramsdens.
There were seven awards, four of which were voted for by Boro fans on the club’s official website, mfc.co.uk
Aycliffe lad Steele picked up both the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards at the event.
“It’s a privilege and an honour to pick up both awards,” said Jason.
Sedgefield MP and Boro fan Phil Wilson was also in attendance, and he said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to bits for the lad. It’s the first time I’ve met Jason, but I’ve heard a lot about him and how he keeps himself very grounded and works very hard, so this recognition is fully deserved.”
Newton Aycliffe firm HPM print Boro’s match programmes and was also one of the evening’s sponsors.
M.D. Richard Mortimer added: “It was a cracking evening, made special at the end by Jason picking up both of the main awards. Jason has visited us recently and we’ve got to know him quite well – as a local lad, we’re absolutely delighted for him.”
