Why 11 Leeds players could have 'made the grade' as duo misses out

And promotion winners Ethan Ampadu and Daniel James have reacted to English Football League (EFL) Awards decisions that went against numerous Elland Road stars.

The annual awards were held on Sunday night in London and James was beaten to the Championship Player of the Season award by Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer.

The Blades midfielder, who was a widely-touted transfer target for Leeds in last summer's transfer window, has been a star man for the Bramall Lane side but, ultimately, couldn't force his team over the line to automatic promotion.

James, who scored 12 goals and added nine assists for Leeds this season, and fellow shortlisted star James Trafford have both celebrated over the past week, having secured top-two slots and Premier League status for the coming 2025/26 season.
