BRAINTREE TOWN’S Kyrell Lisbie was bursting with pride at being named the Sportsbeat Young Player of the Year at the National Game Awards, in association with Isuzu.
-
The 21-year-old, who joined the club in the summer of 2024, has been an integral part of Steve Pitt’s side, scoring 13 times in the National League this season as the Iron achieved their survival goal after being promoted via the National League South play-offs last term.
Having previously been with then Step 4 side Cray Valley PM, Lisbie scored his first two goals for Braintree against Aldershot in August 2024 and has not looked back since, stringing together a series of impressive performances that has showed he has more than dealt with the three-step jump he made when moving to Cressing Road.
"Honestly, it is an amazing feeling," said Lisbie.
