Southampton striker Rickie Lambert has been named as the Football League Player of the Year.

The 30-year-old, who has scored 25 goals for the Saints this season, was announced as the winner at an awards ceremony in London on Sunday night.

"I have a lot of experience and I've kept learning. I feel I'm at my peak right now," said Lambert.

Huddersfield Town's Free-scoring striker Jordan Rhodes claimed the League One title, while Swindon's Matt Richie picked up the League Two award.

Elsewhere, Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace was named as the Young Player of the Year, with Brighton's Gus Poyet earning the Outstanding Managerial Achievement award after guiding the Seagulls to the upper reaches of the Championship table following last season's promotion.
