Luis ‘Duk’ Lopes and Eilidh Shore were the two big winners at Aberdeen’s end of season awards.

Duk won the player of the year award as voted by the club’s supporters and was named players’ player of the year.

He also claimed the club’s goal of the season award for his audacious back-heel finish in the 3-1 victory against Dundee United in March.

The 23-year-old, who is under contract until the summer of 2025, has scored 18 goals in 39 appearances in his first season in Scottish football.

Aberdeen’s end of season awards

The Cape Verde international, who joined the Dons from Benfica last summer, has been linked with several clubs following his impressive performances which earned him the top awards at the ceremony held at P&J Live in Aberdeen.

Midfielder Shore was named Aberdeen Women’s player of the year and players’ player of the year.

And like Duk, she also won the Dons Women’s goal of the season award for her strike in a 4-1 defeat against Rangers in February.

On-loan Liverpool midfielder Leighton Clarkson was named Aberdeen’s young player of the year. The midfielder has five goals and eight assists in 33 games for the Dons.

Millie Urquhart was named Aberdeen Women’s young player of the year. The defender, 17, is moving to Florida later this year to play college football at Jacksonville University.

Alfie Bavidge was named the club’s development player of the year. The 17-year-old made his first team debut in the 3-1 win against Motherwell in February.

Aberdeen take on Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday as they bid for an eighth win on the spin, while Aberdeen Women head to Spartans on SWPL 1 duty on Sunday.
