SFWA Young Player of the Year

SFWA Young Player of the Year

The Scottish Football Writers' Association Young Player of the Year (often called the SFWA Young Player of the Year, or simply the Scottish Young Player of the Year) award is given to the footballer in the top-flight of Scottish football, the Scottish Premier League, whom is seen to have been the best young (under 23) player of the previous season.

The shortlist is compiled by the members of the Scottish Football Writers' Association (the SFWA), who also vote for the winner. The prize is seen as the highest awarded to a young player as it names the "Young Player of the Year"; the footballer who is seen to have been "the" best young player over the previous season. The award was first made in 2002, and was won by Motherwell forward James McFadden. The latest winner of the award was Steven Fletcher of Hibernian.
