Trundle signed a long-term contract at Swansea in February

The 29-year-old has scored 20 goals for the Swans this season and received his gong at the inaugural Football League awards held on Sunday night.

He said: "It's brilliant to get player of the year for the whole league, it's nice to get recognised like this.

"I've had a bad time with injuries, and have had two months out this season, but I've scored three goals in my last three league games."

The Liverpool-born forward has netted 63 times since moving to The Liberty Stadium from Wrexham in the summer of 2003.

Trundle committed his future to Swansea until at least 2009 after signing a contract extension in February and has been linked with moves to Everton and Portsmouth.
