The Portland Timbers have named midfielder Diego Valeri as the team's 2014 Players' Player of the Year.

Valeri, the Timbers' 2014 Golden Boot winner, scored an MLS-club single-season record 11 goals in 2014 and finished second in all of MLS with 14 assists. The midfielder also became the first Timber to score 10 or more goals in consecutive seasons.

From May 3 until the end of the season, Valeri never went more than two games without recording either a goal or an assist.

For his performance, Valeri was also named the Supporters' Player of the Year. The Timbers Army gave Valeri a player of the year belt following Portland's regular-season home finale on Oct. 17.

Valeri was also at the center of Portland's "Play of the Year." On Sept. 20, Valeri got on the end of a cross from defender Jorge Villafana and used a brilliant left-footed volley to put the ball into the back of the net. Valeri's goal helped the Timbers earn a 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Valeri tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on the final day of the season on Oct. 25 and is not expected to be healthy enough to return to the field until some time in April.

The Timbers also named midfielder Diego Chara their 2014 "Unsung Hero" and "Community Player of the Year." The club named Liam Ridgewell "Defender of the Year." Defender Alvas Powell was named "Up-and-Coming Player of the Year."
