Philippine international goalkeeper Neil Etheridge was feted as the 2019 Cardiff City FC Player of the Year at the Cardiff City Hall on Monday.

Etheridge thanked his supporters and teammates in a post on his social media account after the announcement of The Player of the Year, which is voted by the club's fans, was made.

"Thank you to everyone who voted for me!" Etheridge said. "Receiving Player of the Year means so much to me, but I couldn't have done it without these people! Thank you Everyone! Such a great team and squad!"

In the 2018/19 season, Etheridge logged the second highest amount of saves among goalkeepers in the entire English Premier League with 127. The Filipino keeper is also tied for first place with Everton's Jordan Pickford in terms of penalties saved this season with three.

Despite Etheridge's individual brilliance, it has been a disappointing season for Cardiff City. The Welsh club will be relegated at the end of the season after finishing in the bottom three of the Premier League.

Cardiff's poor showing in the league means they will drop down to the the second-tier English Championship next season.
