Brighton defender Tommy Elphick says he is delighted to have been voted player of the season by fans.

The 20-year-old centre-back had only made two starts for the club before breaking into the first-team in August in the Carling Cup defeat at Cardiff.

Elphick told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "It means everything to me. I came out of Cardiff after having a good game and thought 'this is my aim'.

"I'm happy with what I have done - next season I'll look to improve again."
