Former England striker Robbie Fowler carried off a hat-trick of honours at his A-League club's end-of-season awards night late Saturday.

The Liverpool great was judged North Queensland Fury's player of the year and he also picked up the golden boot award with his nine goals in the A-League season and was recognised by his teammates with the Players' Player Award.

Fowler, the highest-profile overseas player to compete in the competition's five-season history, played 2,272 minutes across 26 matches for Fury in the club's debut season.

Fury Chairman Don Matheson said the 34-year-old striker had more than proven his worth to the club.

"Robbie's been fantastic for us," Matheson said. "We hoped he'd score goals for us and he did and some of them were among the best seen in the A-League this season.

"The fact his teammates have acknowledged him as their choice of Players' Player speaks volumes about the sort of person Robbie is."

Fowler is contracted for another season with Fury, based in tropical Townsville.
