Players' Player of the Year - Diego Valeri

Voted on by the players, the 2017 Players' Player of the Year was awarded to midfielder Diego Valeri. In his fifth season with the club, Valeri recorded double-digit goals and assists for the fourth time in five MLS seasons with Portland, recording a team-high 21 goals and 11 assists in 32 regular-season appearances (32 starts). The recognition marks the second time Valeri has been named Players' Player of the Year, with the midfielder previously earning the honor in 2014.

Supporters' Player of the Year - Diego Valeri

Voted on by the supporters and presented at the regular-season home finale on Oct. 22, Diego Valeri was named Supporters' Player of the Year for a second consecutive season and the third time in the last four seasons. During the 2017 campaign, Valeri recorded the most combined goals and assists (32) in the league, while also becoming the second player in MLS history to record 20 or more goals and 10 or more assists in the same season. Additionally, Valeri extended his MLS career goal-scoring tally to 58 league goals, which ranks as the most in club history across all eras (since 1975).

Golden Boot - Diego Valeri

Diego Valeri was awarded the Golden Boot as the club's leading goal-scorer in 2017, marking the third time in the last five seasons the midfielder has led the team in goals scored. Valeri, who recorded 21 goals in 32 regular-season games, set an MLS record for goals by a midfielder in a single season, surpassing the previous mark by three goals. Valeri also set a new league record for consecutive regular-season games (9) with a goal - two more games than the previous record - scoring 10 goals from July 29-Sept. 24 to help guide the Timbers to a 5-2-2 record during the final stretch of the season.

Unsung Hero - Roy Miller

In his first season with the club, the 33-year-old defender appeared in 26 matches (26 starts) for the Timbers. Playing multiple positions across Portland's backline, Miller extended his career tally to 151 regular-season appearances (140 starts), ranking in the top 10 for appearances on the team, while also recording his first career MLS goal with a finish in the team's 3-1 win against the Philadelphia Union on April 8.

Play of the Year - Darlington Nagbe's chip Aug. 23 against Colorado Rapids

The 2017 Timbers' Play of the Year was awarded to Darlington Nagbe for his tight-angled chip in the Timbers' 2-1 win against the Colorado Rapids on Aug. 23. Nominated for the 2017 AT&T MLS Goal of the Year, Nagbe's finish provided the game-winning goal for Portland in the 2-1 win against the Rapids, with the midfielder curling his effort from the far left side of the box past goalkeeper Tim Howard and into the upper right corner to record his third goal of the season.

Defender of the Year - Diego Chara

Diego Chara was awarded the team's Defender of the Year award for a second straight season. Playing in 29 games (29 starts) this season, Chara tallied a team-high 101 tackles, ranking as the fifth-most in MLS in 2017. Additionally, Chara won the fifth-most tackles (73) in MLS in 2017, winning 73 percent of his tackles.

Up-and-Coming Player of the Year - Jeremy Ebobisse

Jeremy Ebobisse, 20, was named the Timbers Up-and-Coming Player of the Year for 2017. Playing in his first season with the Timbers after being selected as the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, Ebobisse made 14 regular-season appearances (2 starts) for Portland during his rookie season, recording one goal and three assists. Earning his first professional start in an away match against Cascadia-rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 23, Ebobbise recorded his first career MLS goal and an assist in 78 minutes played in a decisive 2-1 win for the Timbers. Ebobisse also made two postseason appearances in 2017, playing 108 minutes in the Western Conference Semifinals against the Houston Dynamo.
