Erik Franzo – Nathan Redmond

The man who got my vote for Player of the Season is Nathan Redmond.  I waited until midseason to buy my kit because I was undecided on what name to get on the back, but Redmond earned it.

The development from a season ago was staggering, and fans should not forget Mark Hughes was the one who pointed him in the right direction.  When Hasenhuttl arrived, Redmond took off and now looks like a dangerous player for years to come.

That combined with his incredible durability, fitness, and ability to score goals make him the unquestioned player of the season in my eyes.
