Under-21s Player of the Year contender: Danny Ings

Player of the year contender Danny Ings
Burnley striker Danny Ings had a year to remember as he helped fire his club into the Premier League and added more England caps and goals to his collection.

The 22-year-old, named as the Championship Player Of The Season for 2013-14, was a regular in Gareth Southgate’s squad as he provided competition for the likes of Saido Berahino and Harry Kane in the battle for a striking spot.

 And Ings never let his country down, with his work-rate, movement and ability ensuring that he was a handful for any defence that he came up against.

That was shown perfectly in November when he bagged a brace against Portugal on his home ground of Turf Moor when granted a place in the starting line-up.

He proved to be as much of a nuisance against France a few days later when he came on as a half-time substitute for the game in Brest, which unfortunately ended in a 3-2 defeat.

And with his first goals in the Premier League also behind him for Burnley, the former AFC Bournemouth man will be looking forward to an equally profitable 2015.
