The PFA Community Champion Award has been awarded to Stanley star Lukas Jensen for his commitment to community appearances and participation throughout the 22/23 season.

The goalkeeper is not only a star on the pitch, his off the pitch work has been exceptional too. Jensen’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed as he fully deserved to pick up the award, which is judged by a panel of representatives from both the PFA and Accrington Stanley Community Trust.

His contribution to the community and our initiatives has been unmatched over the last season. Lukas is a credit to the club and an exemplary character to look up to. He has been a great role model for the entire community and is a pleasure to have with us.

Martin Fearon, CEO of Accrington Stanley Community Trust, said: “Lukas has exceeded all expectations and has proven to be a real asset to the community. He has supported a number of our projects throughout the season, helping wherever he can. His commitment is fantastic and we hope his efforts inspire the local people to do the same”.

Jensen commented, “It’s a great honour to be recognised for this award. I’m aware that the position I am in, I can make a difference and make positive changes in the local community.”

Once again, congratulations to Lukas Jensen on winning the PFA Community Champion Award!
