READING FC striker Yann Kermorgant is in the running for the Championship PFA Fans' Player of the Season award.

The 35-year-old striker is in the form of his life after banging in 19 league goals for the Royals as Jaap Stam's men marched into the play-offs.

Kermorgant is named among a stellar shortlist produced by an expert panel of judges.

Also on the list are Leeds United striker Chris Wood, who topped the Championship goalscoring charts with an impressive 27 goals, and Anthony Knockaert, whose 15 goals and assists helped Brighton secure automatic promotion.

The other contenders are 23-goal Dwight Gayle who helped Newcastle win the title, and Tammy Abraham with 23 goals in 41 games for Bristol City while on loan from Chelsea.
