Speaking to the West Brom's official website, Clarke said: "I’m absolutely delighted to pick up this award.

"I felt I’d come into the team and done well at the start of the campaign, but to get the injury was a setback and you obviously never know if you’re going to properly get back up to speed. I worked really hard and thankfully I wasn't out for too long.

"There's an underlying frustration from this season because as a team, and as a club, we’ve underachieved. I take all the criticism onboard which is what we have to do because that’s part of being a footballer.

"Some of the supporters have gone out of their way to vote for me and I take great pride in that. I'd like to thank them for doing so."
