There is some good news at Leyton Orient after all as Myles Judd has been shortlisted in the 2017 EFL Awards.

The 18-year-old is up for the LFE Apprentice of the Year with the annual awards taking place in London on Sunday, April 9.

Judd will face Plymouth Argyle's Alex Fletcher and Cambridge United's Leon Davies.

The right-back has impressed as of late stepping up into the first team as they look to avoid relegation into the National League for the first time in 112 years. 

Judd made his league debut for Orient in the 1-0 home defeat to Exeter City on November 22. 

Shaun Harvey, EFL Chief Executive, said: "It’s been an exciting and action-packed 12 months for the EFL both on and off the pitch. There have been some incredible individual and team performances
across the three divisions, entertaining the millions of fans who follow the EFL week in, week out.

“Off the pitch our clubs continue to have a positive and lasting impact in their local communities, using the power of football to deliver life-changing programmes and activities.

“The EFL Awards are a fantastic way to recognise the achievements of clubs, players, backroom staff and fans and I would like to personally congratulate everyone who has been nominated and wish them all the best on the night itself.”
