3/1 To Win
Derby County Under-23s striker Jahmal Hector-Ingram has been nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Year award for the 2019/20 season.
The frontman, who joined the Rams from West Ham United last summer, enjoyed a productive season in front of goal.
In 28 appearances for the Under-23s across all competitions, before the cancellation of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hector-Ingram netted 22 goals and added a further five assists to his name.
His progress was acknowledged by first-team manager Phillip Cocu and he was handed his professional debut off the bench in Derby’s Sky Bet Championship fixture at West Bromwich Albion in July.
Hector-Ingram is one of six nominees for the 2019/20 accolade, which has been decided by the Premier League’s Football Development Panel.
