The Saint's stopper receives the Reusch Goalkeeper of the Year award at the 2022 National Game Awards.

Brackley Town goalkeeper Danny Lewis has been recognised for having a fantastic season where he conceded just 23 goals and has been awarded the Reusch Goalkeeper of the Year award at the 2022 National Game Awards.

He told the Northampton Chronicle of his surprise at winning the award. "“I was surprised when Matt (Badcock) got in touch,”

“There’s five or six in the Conference North, it’s a competitive area now, there’s a lot of experience throughout teams. There’s a lot of good keepers in the league.

“A lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes. We’re part-time, we train two nights a week so we have to train hard.

“I’d like to say it was all down to me but not even just the defence, we work hard in the midfield and forwards as well - we defend from the front,” added Lewis.

“Ever since I’ve been at the club, I’ve got such good defenders. There’s games where I haven’t had anything to do.

“Hopefully we’ll be strong again at the back and maybe score a few more goals next year.

“This is the time to go one better and just win it, not have the lottery of the play-offs.”

Well done Danny, we're very proud of you!
