Ipswich Town duo Conor Chaplin and Leif Davis named in Sky Bet League One Team of the Season 2022/23

Ipswich Town’s Conor Chaplin and Leif Davis have both been named in the Sky Bet League One Team of the Season for 2022/23.

The duo were recognised alongside nine of their colleagues from the third tier at last night’s EFL Awards which took place at Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London.

Chaplin has had an extraordianry season in front of goal with the number 10 netting 26 times in all competitions, notching his 22nd goal in League One in the 3-0 victory at Peterborough United on Saturday to leave him two behind Posh’s Jonson Clarke-Harris. The 25-year-old, signed from Barnsley the summer before last, has made 42 league appearances for the Blues this term.

Davis, a summer signing from Leeds United, has excelled on the left side of Kieran McKenna’s team, leading the League One assists charts with 12, along with Sheffield Wednesday’s Barry Bannnan, from his 40 appearances. His first career goal came at Oxford in January, and he has since found the back of the net on two more occasions.

The 23-year-old eft wing-back has also been part of a Town defence who recently set a new club record for both games - nine - and minutes - 949 - without conceding a goal.

Meanwhile, McKenna himself missed out on the League One Manager of the Season award to league-leading Plymouth Argyle’s Steven Schumacher.

Midfielder Cameron Humphreys was pipped to the League One Young Player of the Year by Plymouth’s Norwich City loanee Bali Mumba.
