The New Saints boss Craig Harrison has been named the Cymru Premier manager of the season.

Harrison guided Saints to a domestic Welsh treble, winning the JD Cymru Premier for a 17th time, the JD Welsh Cup and Nathaniel MG Cup.

He also guided the club to the Europa Conference League group stages, the first domestic Welsh club to do so.

Connah's Quay Nomads forward Rhys Hughes was player of the season and Caernarfon Town forward Louis Lloyd was named young player of the season.

Briton Ferry Llansawel's Rhys James was named Adran Premier manager of the season

Shannon Evans was player of the season with Cardiff City team mate Fiona Barry named the young player of the season.

Former referee Cheryl Foster, the first female to officiate in the Cymru Premier in 2018, was presented with a special recognition award.

Foster called time on her refereeing career earlier this year having officiated at the Women's Euro 2022, the 2023 Women's World Cup and Women's Champions League final.

She enjoyed an equally successful playing career, during which she won three league titles with Liverpool and 63 Wales caps.
