Roughyeds trio up for League One Awards

Oldham head coach Sean Long, full-back Phoenix Laulu-Togaga'e and half-back Danny Craven have all been shortlisted for the prestigious Betfred League One Awards.

Long is nominated for the League One Coach of the Year award at this year's ceremony to be held in Leeds on Tuesday October 8th.

The Roughyeds boss guided his side to the title to gain his first silverware as a head coach as Oldham secured promotion to the Championship with room to spare.

PLT had a breakthrough year on-loan from Hull KR, and is recognised on the final three-man shortlist for both Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.

Craven produced some vintage performances for Oldham, with his match-winning display away to North Wales Crusaders proving a catalyst in the successful promotion push.

He is also nominated for Player of the Year, with Rochdale's Lewis Else the other contender.

The nominations and winners are determined by a poll of head coaches - including Long - who are not permitted to vote for players from their own teams.
