Bath Rugby fly-half George Ford has been named Aviva Premiership Player of the Season after helping the team to a second-placed finish in the table.
The 22-year-old is the fourth-highest points scorer in the competition this season, adding 191 points for his club after leading the league in the previous campaign.
Rugby director at Premiership Rugby, Phil Winstanley, said: "George is a worthy recipient of this year's Aviva Premiership Rugby Player of the Season award. There is no doubt he has spear-headed an extremely talented back-line at Bath Rugby and his control and composure at fly-half show a remarkable maturity for someone so young.
"Having graduated through the Leicester Tigers Academy and becoming the youngest player to make his professional debut in the Premiership he went on to become the first Englishman to claim the IRB Young Player of the Year award.
"This season he has now cemented his position in the England team and I'm sure we all hope he can take his fantastic form from this season into this year's Rugby World Cup."
Bath have reached the playoffs for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
