Fiji soccer star Roy Krishna is officially the best player in the A‑League.
The Wellington Phoenix striker has capped off a career‑best season by winning the Johnny Warren Medal, the honour for the competition's best player.
Krishna also took out the league's Golden Boot with 18 goals this season, breaking Jeremy Brockie's club record for most goals in a season in the process.
While receiving the award, Krishna said that dreams do come true.
The 31‑year‑old Fijian international is off‑contract and attracting interest from around the league for a big‑money marquee deal.
The Johnny Warren Medal is awarded by a judging panel of former professional players, referees, technical experts and members of the media for the A‑League regular season. Panel members from each of the four groups were appointed to vote on a 3‑2‑1 basis on every match.
Krishna received 31 points from the panel, two ahead of Adelaide United's Isaias and Perth Glory's Neil Kilkenny.
