Northern Ireland teenager Darren Robinson has been named Derby County's Scholar of the Year for the second year in a row.
Robinson continues to shine for the Rams after joining the club in the summer of 2021.
The 18-year-old has already made his senior debut for the club, with former boss Wayne Rooney handing the midfielder his bow in a Championship game against Bristol City last year.

Robinson was named top scholar last year, and has now backed it up with another win.
He told Derby's social media team: "I am very happy to receive it two years in a row. It's something you look at coming over, winning these awards.
"So I am delighted to win it two years in a row.
"I've been established in the Under 21s this season and been captain a few times as well. It has been a tough season but my performances have been quite good so I am happy to get the award.
"I have been around the first team all season and trained with them, and working with the new manager as well. I have loved every minute of it."
Robinson says he has enjoyed working with Derby's first-team this season and is hoping he can feature regularly in the senior squad next year.
He said: "I look up to the older players and try and learn off them every day. There are a lot of good players here in my position and they are great people to work around.
"Next season I want to keep kicking on. I want a good pre-season and hopefully get into the first team.
"I will continue to back myself to do that."
