Right-back Kane Vincent-Young has been named Town’s PFA Community Champion for the 2020/21 campaign.

The 25-year-old earned the award for being the player who made the most significant contribution in the community during the season.

In March last year, following the Covid-19 outbreak, the Blues launched their Keep the Town Talking initiative which saw players, coaches and off-field staff call elderly season ticket holders.

Vincent-Young forged strong bonds with several of his callers and continued to have regular slots each week when he would get in touch and chat. He still continues to talk to at least two of those supporters now.

The former Colchester man has also agreed to become the Junior Blues ambassador for the 2021/22 season.

Monkey_Blue added 16:46 - Jun 21 Let's hope he is pushed for time in this role. A fully fit KVY would have made a difference to both of the last two seasons

Linkboy13 added 17:32 - Jun 21 If he stays fit it will be very difficult to keep hold of him. So it's important that we get promoted next season. I think with better players around him it will take the pressure off him .

Cadiar added 19:13 - Jun 21 Lambert's best signing by a long way & as Linkboy says, let's hope we can keep him. He's one of very few who could play at a higher level apart from the two new boys who I haven't seen.
