Two Lincoln City players named in team of the year

Richly deserved praise for two of Lincoln’s finest talents

By Local Democracy Reporter

Lincoln City players Jorge Grant and Lewis Montsma have been named in the PFA League One Team of the Year, marking what was a memorable season for the club.

The PFA Awards, voted for by the players, recognises the outstanding performers from each of England’s top four divisions, and the Imps were well represented this year.

Lincoln finished in fifth place in League One and reached the play-off final at Wembley, where they were agonisingly beaten 2-1 by Blackpool.

Midfielder Jorge Grant was in exceptional form for the Imps this season, with the 26-year-old scoring 17 goals in an influential campaign.

He was joined in the Team of the Year by fellow Imps player Lewis Montsma, who shocked the league with nine goals from centre back in his first season in England, since arriving from the Dutch second division last summer.

The pair were joined in the Team of the Year by fellow League One superstars Aiden McGeady from Sunderland and top scorer Jonson-Clarke Harris from Peterborough United.
