Jack Byrne, Sean Gannon, and Michael Duffy on PFAI Player of the Year shortlist

Treble-chasing Dundalk are double-handed on the shortlist for this season’s PFA Ireland ‘Player of the Year’.

Last season’s winner Michael Duffy is nominated once again and is joined by Lilywhite team-mate Sean Gannon and Shamrock Rovers star Jack Byrne.

Byrne is also up for the Young Player of the Year award, along with Bohemians ace Danny Mandriou and Derry City striker David Parkhouse.

League champions Dundalk provide five players in the Premier Division Team of the Year which is voted for by the players.

Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Alan Mannus gets the nod between the posts while Hoops team-mate Sean Kavanagh is recognised at left-back.

Rovers centre-back Lee Grace is also in the back four, along with Dundalk's Gannon and Sean Hoare

Lilywhites stalwart Chris Shields, Irish international Byrne and Gypsies star Mandroiu make up the three-man midfield.

And Derry striker Parkhouse makes the cut in attack alongside Dundalk’s deadly duo of Pat Hoban and Duffy.

The winners will be announced at the PFA Ireland annual awards bash in Dublin on November 9.
