Ivory Coast’s Kamara beats Nigeria’s Dennis to Watford Player of the Season award

Ivory Coast defender Hassane Kamara has been crowned the 2021-22 Player of the Season at relegated side Watford.

The 28-year-old, who signed for the Hornets from Nice on January 4, 2022, until June 2025, came out on top of an online vote for the award, with goalkeeper Ben Foster finishing as runner-up while Nigeria forward Emmanuel Dennis came third.

Watford confirmed Kamara’s achievement in a post on their social media pages. The Ivorian defender, who made an instant impact, with his committed performances from left-back, was presented with the winners' trophy by club captain Moussa Sissoko.

“Hassane [Kamara] was presented with his award, as voted for by Watford supporters, by captain Moussa Sissoko,” Watford captioned the post on social media.
