I am really honoured to have received these @cpfc club awards today. Thank you ?? - Last season was very tough for me but I was determined to work hard and repay the faith shown in me by the club. - Thank you to our supporters for the amazing support once again and for the love they have shown me. We have missed you alot since the restart but we will see you again soon when it’s safe and it will be a very special feeling ♥️ - As a team, we have worked so hard collectively and I want to thank my teammates for all their efforts on the pitch. A big Thank You also to the Boss, the coaching staff, the board, and all the club staff for everything they have done for us this season. - Whilst it’s always special to receive personal awards, the most important thing is that we work even harder and come back stronger next season. - I would also like to thank my amazing family for their unconditional love & support every day ♥️ - These awards are dedicated to the late Pape Diouf, who we sadly lost during the quarantine period. He was a very special man, who helped me and my family so much. I will miss him greatly ♥️?? - It’s time for a short break now before the hard work starts again. See you all very soon and stay safe ✊? - Jordan x ?????
