Stirling Lions attacker David Micevski has been awarded the McInernery Ford Gold Medal and Ford Fiesta car for the second time after a sensational Playstation 4 National Premier Leagues WA season.

Micevski, who claimed the crown in 2009, was named the local competition’s best player at tonight’s glittering celebration of WA football at the Crown Perth Ballroom.

The 30-year-old, who had a stint at Perth Glory in the 2005-06 Hyundai A-League season, was man-of-the-match on nine occasions and accumulated an astounding 38 votes to finish ahead of Armadale’s Jesse Fuller (27 votes).

Last year’s winner, Ludovic Boi, picked up 21 votes, equal to his Floreat Athena teammate Dean Evans.

Micevski was also in close contention for the Golden Boot award after scoring 17 goals this season but was edged out by Perth’s Gustavo Catarcione and ECU Joondalup’s Gordon Smith, who both scored 19.

Smith’s goal-scoring contribution was reflected in the 27 votes he picked up in an impressive campaign.
