Three votes in the final-match 1-0 victory over Olympia saw the goalkeeper and captain leapfrog defender James Hawes to win the club's NPL Tasmania best and fairest count by two votes.
Final-day goal-scorer Gedi Krusa finished third in the count.

Clark, who was also named City's players' player, was an ever-present for Lino Sciulli's side which finished in fifth place on the ladder.
With impeccable timing, the club announced that the popular shot-stopped - whose command of the penalty box and distinctive all pink outfit made him an eye-catching presence - had re-signed to keep playing at City for the 2023 season.
The Prospect club held their annual awards on Friday night.
