Premiership Team of the Year revealed as Linfield players dominate

Linfield players unsurprisingly dominate this season's Uhlsport Premiership Team of the Year.

The panel consists of five Blues stars who lifted the Premiership and Irish Cup double in 2020/21.

The Windsor Park quintet of Chris Johns, Jimmy Callacher, Kirk Millar, Jamie Mulgrew and Shayne Lavery all made the the NI Football Awards team, alongside Glentoran pair Jay Donnelly and Luke McCullough.

Coleraine defender Lyndon Kane and midfielder Stephen Lowry also made the cut, alongside Ballymena United veteran Ross Redman and Larne star Martin Donnelly.

The team was selected by members of the Northern Ireland Football Writers’ Association and the Danske Bank Premiership managers.

The awards are jointly organised by NIFWA and NIFL.
