Nick Powell marked an impressive breakthrough season by sweeping the board at Crewe's 2011/12 season awards night.

England Under-18 international picked up Alex's Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season gongs, while his stunning opening goal in last month's thrilling 4-3 win over Gillingham was named Goal of the Season.

Powell missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Cheltenham due to tonsilitis, but is expected to return for this weekend's vital showdown with Torquay after the Railwaymen moved into the League Two play-off places with two games remaining.

Goalkeeper Steve Phillips was second to Powell in the Player of the Season pecking order, with Luke Murphy and Adam Dugdale joint-third.

Harry Davis and Ajay Leitch-Smith were pipped to the young player award.
