Players, coaches, and families came together for the Academy's annual Awards Night.
The event provided an opportunity to recognise the hard work, commitment and achievements of the club's young players throughout the 2025/26 campaign, with a series of individual awards presented across the Under-17s and Under-18s age groups.
In the Under-17s category, the Top Goalscorer award was shared by Frankie Alderson and Morgan Linacre, who both enjoyed impressive seasons in front of goal.
The Players' Player of the Season award went to Luke Ackerman, reflecting the respect and admiration he earned from his teammates throughout the campaign.
Riley Elston was voted Parents' Player of the Season following a series of strong performances and consistent dedication, while Noah Swash collected the Manager's Player of the Season award in recognition of his outstanding contribution and commitment throughout the year.
The Under-18 awards saw Jack Kilpatrick enjoy a remarkable evening, completing a hat-trick of honours. Kilpatrick claimed the Top Goalscorer award before also being named both Players' Player of the Season and Parents' Player of the Season, underlining the impact he has made both on and off the pitch.
The Under-18 Manager's Player of the Season award was presented to Nataniel Danielewski, whose performances, attitude and work ethic earned special recognition from the coaching staff.
Everyone at Whitby Town would like to congratulate all of this year's award winners and thank every player, coach, volunteer and parent for their support throughout the season.
The continued progress of the Academy is a testament to the dedication shown across all age groups, and the club looks forward to seeing these young players continue their development in the years ahead.
