THE 2023 Steve Prescott Super League Man of Steel has been announced after Jack Welsby, Bevan French and Tom Johnstone were shortlisted for the prestigious award.
All three would have been worthy winners of the awards, but it was Wigan Warriors’ Bevan French that was given the prestigious accolade.
Meanwhile, London Broncos star Bill Leyland was named Championship Young Player of the Year with Workington Town’s Ciaran Walker scooping up the League One Young Player of the Year, whilst Liam Finn won the League One Coach of the Year and Mike Eccles the Championship Coach of the Year.
Move forward to Super League and Leigh Leopards head coach Adrian Lam scooped up the Coach of the Year after guiding Leigh to Challenge Cup success and fifth place in the top flight in their first season back in the big time.
