Sheffield United keeper Justin Haber and midfielder Aymen Tahar have been crowned the club’s Community Player and Young Player of the Year respectively.
It is the first season
Sheffield United has created the awards for players as the club’s community programme continues to grow.
Haber and Tahar have been involved with a number of activities with local people during the season, including Playing for Success, Kickz and Fit for School.
The duo were presented with their awards by The United Initiative’s Mark Todd and Head of Community Sue Beeley at Bramall Lane.
Sue said: “This is the first year we have presented these awards and the two players richly deserve the recognition.
“It is an opportunity for the club to show our thanks to Justin and Aymen, who have spent many hours of their own time supporting the Club’s community and charitable initiatives.
“They have attended and been well-received at a number of special presentations and events, helping to put smiles on many young faces.
“We hope that presenting Community Player and Young Player of the Year awards will become an annual event at Sheffield United.”
Haber is a Malta international who joined United in the summer of 2008, while Tahar, a regular for the Blades reserves last season, made his first team debut as a substitute against
Hull City in the FA Cup in February 2009.
