In a captivating reveal that football enthusiasts won’t want to miss, Sky Sports EFL presenter David Prutton has unveiled his selection for the Championship's Team of the Season thus far. This announcement is particularly intriguing as it showcases the standout performances of players across various teams, including notable mentions from clubs like Preston North End, Wrexham, and Stoke City.
Among the carefully chosen eleven, Prutton has highlighted the exceptional talent of Jordan Storey, a central defender hailing from Preston North End. As the season progresses, with 26 matches already played, Storey has proven to be an indispensable player, featuring in every single league game under the management of Paul Heckingbottom. His contributions have not been limited to defense alone; he has also found the back of the net twice—scoring against both Middlesbrough and Oxford United—and has provided a couple of assists, showcasing his all-around capabilities on the pitch.
Prutton praised Storey’s defensive abilities, commenting, "He is very solid defensively. What Hecky has achieved with successful teams in this league is to establish a remarkably robust defense. Jordan has performed exceptionally well in this setup." This endorsement highlights not only Storey's individual efforts but also the strategic vision behind Heckingbottom’s coaching.
Let’s take a closer look at the complete lineup selected by Prutton alongside fellow presenter Simeon Gholam:
Goalkeeper: Viktor Johansson (Stoke City)
Right Back: Callum Brittain (Middlesbrough)
Center Back: Bobby Thomas (Coventry City)
Center Back: Jordan Storey (Preston North End)
