RHYS Evans' gran has offered to buy him a cabinet after he swept the board in the trophy stakes but he now has to decide whether to stick around to defend his titles.

The 24-year-old scooped five awards before Saturday's draw with Huddersfield Town and then celebrated with a clean sheet.

He also found time to praise his manager and urge that he be given an opportunity to continue the work he's started.

Evans said: "I'm chuffed with all the trophies. I was trying to keep focused before the game though as I was aware all the presentations were a potential banana skin.

"The fact that a lot of my family and friends can see it is a plus.

"It's a nice set of circumstances that has worked out for me. The negative side is the relegation.

"I suppose I can sleep slightly easier maybe knowing that people have recognised what I've done, which is nice, but it still hurts just the same.

"It's a bitter sweet moment. I've won it but at the same time you maybe wish there'd have been more competition because it would have meant more people playing at their peak."

So what next for Town's player of the season?

He was clearly touched by the warmth of the fans in acknowledging his efforts this year.

However, there isn't always room for sentiment in football.

He said: "I can't be too rose-tinted glasses and sacrifice my ambition for the happiness of others possibly. It will be a hard decision whatever I do.

"It's all ifs and buts and as soon as I know anything I will endeavour to make it public knowledge.

"The issue is my career. Do I take a risk and go into League Two as it isn't far to fall from that league or do I gamble, take a chance, back myself and put myself in a position to maybe go on to bigger things?"

Manager Iffy Onuora also took the applause at the end of the match, deservedly so in Evans' eyes.

He said: "People need to take a cold shower and look at the situation. When he took over the club had been on a run of defeats.

"There have been public comments that things look different and that the general atmosphere around the club has changed.

"That's got to be a positive. Yes, ultimately we've been relegated but he was up against it from the start.

"It looked like we were massively in the manure when he took control.

"The manager here has always been playing catch up. I imagine he's learnt a hell of a lot.

"I think people have got to give him a fair go.

"You've taken over a team that hadn't had a good pre-season, hadn't been prepared properly.

"Mr Devlin's back now, I think that's a major bonus for the club.

"You've got Mr Power coming in. Let's give things a chance.

"He's a juggler probably keeping five or six balls up in the air at once.

"People need to give him a fair go and judge him on a fresh start and a clean slate."
