Brentford Player of the Year awards: Thiago and Jensen recognised Igor Thiago was named both the Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year at Brentford's 2025/26 end-of-season awards. The Bees' Goal of the Season award went to Mathias Jensen for his memorable strike against Manchester United at Gtech Community Stadium. While a number of players could have been recognised for their contributions during the season, the winners of the first team, B team and women's prizes have been revealed.

Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year Igor Thiago Igor Thiago picked up the Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards. Ahead of the final game of the season, the striker has bagged 25 goals across all competitions, becoming the club's highest-ever scorer, as well as the highest-scoring Brazilian, in a single Premier League campaign. In November, he became the first Brentford player to win the Premier League Player of the Month award, before repeating the feat in January.

Only Manchester City forward Erling Haaland is ahead of Thiago , who is also nominated for the EA Sports Player of the Season in the Premier League's end-of-season awards, in the race for the Golden Boot. The 24-year-old's impressive campaign saw him earn a first cap for Brazil in March in an international friendly against France, and the Bees' no. 9 followed that up by netting his first goal for his country against Croatia six days later.

Earlier this week, Thiago was named in Carlo Ancelotti's squad for this summer's World Cup in North America. On his 2025/26 campaign and winning two awards, he said: "I feel really happy and proud of the season I’m having with my team-mates. "All of the achievements I’ve had this season are because of the trust and belief the fans and the club give to me.
