Published: May 07, 2018
Charlton Athletic End of Season Awards took place on Monday, May 7, 2018 and a Nigerian starlet was among the winners.
Joe Aribo was recognized after a banner season for the Addicks, claiming the Young Player of the Year sponsored by Valley Gold.
The 21-year-old has not looked back since breaking into Charlton Athletic's first team and finished the regular season with 5 goals in 25 League One appearances.
The central midfielder, who has been likened to former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira , provided three assists in all competitions so far this season.
Aribo scooped Staines Town's Academy Player of the Year award in 2014 before transferring to Charlton a year later.
He helped the London team qualify for the League One playoffs and is set to play for the club on Thursday when they face Shrewsbury Town in the semifinal.
In December 2016, Aribo penned a new deal with Charlton, tying him to the club until June 30, 2019.
