After his dramatic debut for Rotherham, helping them gain promotion to the Championship, Georgie Kelly was back home to pick up his Donegal Sports Star, Brendan McDaid Memorial Special Achievement Award from last year.
Before his move cross channel, The Inishowen man was the top scorer in the League of Ireland Premier Division, scoring 21 goals in 31 games for Bohemians. He also found the net four times in six games in the UEFA Conference League and netted the goal that put his side into the FAI Senior Cup Final.
