Carlisle United star Owen Moxon has been rewarded for his stellar 2022/23 season with a place in the PFA League Two team of the year.

And Moxon's fellow Cumbrian James Trafford has also been honoured by his fellow professionals with a League One place.

Midfielder Moxon's outstanding performances in the Blues' promotion campaign earned him a slot in the fourth tier's select XI.

That honour, announced in the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Awards last night, followed the Denton Holme star earning a similar accolade in the EFL Awards in April.

"This kind of thing comes from the team doing well and it's about everybody, not just one or two people," said Moxon on the Blues' website about his latest accolade.

The 25-year-old was a hugely influential player in Carlisle's success in his first campaign at professional level following his summer 2022 move from Annan Athletic.

Moxon, who has scored both United's goals so far in the step up to League One, is joined by former Blues striker Andy Cook in the PFA line-up, with the Bradford City man voted League Two player of the year by his peers.

Also in the League Two XI were Leyton Orient quartet Lawrence Vigouroux, Paul Smyth, Omar Beckles and Idris El Mizouni, plus Stevenage's Carl Piergianni, Northampton Town's Sam Hoskins, Colchester United's Junior Tchamadeu and Salford City duo Ibou Touray and Elliot Watt.

Goalkeeper Trafford, meanwhile, took the League One goalkeeping place after an outstanding season with Bolton Wanderers.

The 20-year-old, from Greysouthen, kept 26 clean sheets in 52 appearances for the Trotters as they reached the third-tier play-offs.

Trafford also helped Ian Evatt's side win the Papa John's Trophy, the former Carlisle academy keeper then going on to star for England Under-21s in their European Championships success in the summer before joining Burnley from Manchester City.
