Tommy Smith has been named Supporters’ Player of the Year for 2012/13. 

The New Zealand international picked up the award at the Supporters’ Awards night held in Legends at Portman Road after the 3-1 win over Birmingham at the weekend. 

The first-team squad were all in attendance at the event, along with manager Mick McCarthy – who took part in a question and answer session. 

“It’s a proud moment for me to receive this award,” said Tommy. 

“The fans have always backed me from when I was in the youth team and it’s nice to get accolades like this but it’s been a real team effort this season.”
