Chris Gunter has been named Welsh footballer of the year, with Ben Woodburn claiming the best young player award.

Reading right-back Gunter picked up the player of the year trophy at the 2017 Football Association of Wales awards on Monday night.

Gunter has again been ever-present for Wales in 2017 to take his number of caps to 81 - the second most by an outfield player, with only Gary Speed ahead of him on 85.

The 28-year-old has made 61 consecutive appearances and his success brings to an end Gareth Bale's domination of the award.
