EFL Awards: Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna and Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville win Championship prizes

Crysencio Summerville was named Championship player of the season at the EFL Awards in London

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna and Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville have been named Championship manager and player of the year.

McKenna has guided the Tractor Boys to the top of the table, one point ahead of Leicester.

Summerville has scored 17 league goals and registered eight assists for Leeds, who are just one point below the Foxes.

Portsmouth's John Mousinho was named League One manager of the year at Sunday's event in London.

Peterborough's Harrison Burrows took home the League One player award, while Mansfield boss Nigel Clough and Notts County winger Jodi Jones were named League Two manager and player of the year.

Dutchman Summerville, 22, has been the creative force driving on a Leeds side that have won 13 of their 18 league games in 2024.

He beat the Championship's 24-goal top scorer Sammie Szmodics, of Blackburn, and Leicester's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to the award.

"I like the fans, the atmosphere, the intensity, everything really, as young kid I had a dream to play in the Premier League and in England," Summerville told BBC Sport.

"We always believed [we could chase down Leicester] otherwise we wouldn't be in the position we are now, we have to keep doing what we do and we have three more finals to reach our plan [of achieving promotion]."

Summerville and team-mates Georginio Rutter and Ethan Ampadu were all included in the Championship team of the year.

McKenna, 37, took over at Ipswich in December 2021 and is on course for back-to-back promotions, having steered the Suffolk club out of League One in his first full season at the helm.

"I came here because I'm an ambitious manager and I wanted to find a football club to match that ambition - I think I made the right choice," said McKenna.

"It's really exciting [to be involved in such a tight promotion race], it's why we're involved in football, we love the game.

"Of course there's tension on the outside but inside it's something we relish and really enjoy."

McKenna won the award ahead of Leeds boss Daniel Farke and Hull's Liam Rosenior.

Leeds teenager Archie Gray won the young player and apprentice of the season in the Championship category.

The 18-year-old has played in all but two of the Whites' league games this season.

Mousinho was rewarded for Portsmouth's dominant race to the top of League One with his side on the verge of promotion to the Championship, with goalkeeper Will Norris, Conor Shaughnessy and Marlon Pack all making the League One team of the year.

Goal of the season was awarded to Ipswich's Wes Burns for his sumptuous strike with the outside of his foot against Coventry in the Championship in December.
