Forward Sam Hoskins was in second place with 13 per cent and Nicky Adams third with 12 per cent, while other players to receive nominations included Callum Morton, Jordan Turnbull, Vadaine Olliver and Scott Wharton.

Signed from Scunthorpe United on a three-year contract last summer, having initially played out a six-month loan stint at the PTS Academy Stadium, Goode enjoyed a superb season at the heart of the Town defence.

Manager Keith Curle handed the 24-year-old the captain's armband and made the player his general on the pitch, and Goode relished the responsibility

Goode played in 45 of the Cobblers' 50 matches in all competitions, and missed just one of Town's 40 games in Sky Bet League Two and the play-offs.

An imposing central defender who is strong in the air and possesses a decent turn of pace, Goode was the team's heartbeat throughout the campaign, always leading by example, and never letting his head drop if things went against the team.

As well as his defensive efforts, where he formed an impressive and solid central defensive unit alongside Turnbull and Wharton, Goode also chipped in with four goals.

His consistency levels throughout the campaign were very high, and he of course wrapped it all up by becoming only the second player in the club's history to lift a trophy at Wembley following that remarkable 4-0 play-off final win over Exeter City last month.
