The award caps a stellar season for the 29-year-old, who surpassed all expectations after a low-key move to Norfolk last summer, having signed on a free transfer from Danish outfit Brondby.

Not only did he top the scoring charts, Pukki was named as the EFL Championship Player of the Season, was named in both the EFL and the PFA Team of the Season, and took home the club's own Player of the Season award.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the Canaries were crowned Championship winners, Pukki said: "To me, it means more to win the trophy, but, of course, that's something I will always remember. It's been an amazing season and I'm happy I got some personal trophies as well.

"This team is amazing. All of the players are one big group who have worked together from the first day that I came here. Without them, I could not have scored those goals so I need to thank them so much."

Sheffield United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has won the Sky Bet Championship Golden Glove award for the 2018/19 season.

The on-loan from Manchester United stopper kept 21 clean sheets during a season in which the Blades finished as runners-up in the second tier, securing a return to the Premier League for the first time since the 2006/07 campaign.

The 22-year-old told the club's official YouTube channel: "It couldn't have gone any better than that, really. These clean sheets don't come around without my team-mates in front of me working hard to close people down, so obviously I owe a lot to them.

"I'm delighted to get over the line, to get Premier League football. Without the team morale, I don't think it was possible to get promoted - we've got team spirit that you'll never see in another football club."

The 28-year-old striker finished the season with 25 goals, five ahead of Lyle Taylor, John Marquis, and Ian Henderson.

This is the latest in a string of awards for Collins, whose goals fired Luton Town towards promotion to the Sky Bet League One title.

He also picked up the Sky Bet League One Player of the Season award, and was named in the PFA League One Team of the Season.

Collins had a slow start to the season, and didn't get off the mark until the end of September; but since Christmas, he has been in unstoppable form, scoring 16 goals in 22 games.

Barnsley and Luton Town goalkeepers Adam Davies and James Shea will share the Sky Bet League One Golden Glove award for the 2018/19 season.

The stoppers finished the season level on 19 clean sheets, after they both failed to keep a shut-out on the final day.

Davies was named in both the EFL and PFA Sky Bet League One Teams of the Year after a standout promotion season for the Tykes, while Shea was promoted as a Sky Bet League One Champion, as Luton beat Oxford United 3-1.

Promotion to the Sky Bet Championship was confirmed for both clubs on Tuesday, following Sunderland and Portsmouth's dropped points.

Tranmere Rovers striker James Norwood has won the Sky Bet League Two Golden Boot award for the 2018/19 season.

The 28-year-old striker finished the season with 29 goals, seven ahead of Mansfield's Tyler Walker.

This is the latest in a string of awards for Norwood, whose goals fired Tranmere into the Sky Bet League Two Play-Offs. He also picked up the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Season award, and was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Season. He was also named in the Sky Bet EFL Team of the Season, with players included from all three divisions.

Norwood hit the ground running, scoring two goals in the opening game of the season, and went on to collect the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month for August. He had to wait to get his chance to shine in the Sky Bet EFL after a prolific record in the National League, with this being the seventh consecutive season that he's reached a double-figure haul.

Norwood said: "It's massive for me to win the award, obviously I came into this league to score goals and it's gone quite well! The biggest priority when you go into the season is to win something with the team, but personally I want to score goals, and to be the highest scorer in the league is great.

"I've always been confident in my ability to score goals. I'd be disappointed not to get to 20 goals whichever league I play in - as a striker, that's the benchmark. Port Vale was the highlight for me, both left foot and the only two shots I had in the game, so you feel like you couldn't have done more."

Golden Glove winner: Scott Davies, Tranmere (19 clean sheets)

Tranmere Rovers goalkeeper Scott Davies has won the Sky Bet League Two Golden Glove award for the 2018/19 season.

The 32-year-old stopper finished the season with 19 clean sheets, four ahead of Daniel Iverson of Oldham Athletic and Scott Brown of Port Vale. Davies' performances helped Tranmere to confirm a place in the Sky Bet Play-Offs, where they will face Forest Green Rovers.

Davies said: "I'm delighted, obviously we work hard every day to keep clean sheets and to be rewarded for that is lovely. When I signed for Tranmere and left Fleetwood, a few people had wrote me off, so to do this in my first season back in the League, I'm delighted.

"Without the players I've got around me, I wouldn't be able to do it, we work as a unit, Jacko (Michael Jackson) work very hard on the defensive side, and me and the defence pride outselves on clean sheets so this is for them as well."
