Naturally a hit and miss affair, some of the winners of the Young Player trophy have gone on to great things for the club, while others never quite fulfilled their early promise.
Mark McGregor and Neil Roberts have won both this award and the senior version, and they were joined in 2009 by Marc Williams, who became the first to claim both in the same season.
Some real club legends, like Gareth Owen, Phil Hardy, Mark McGregor, Bryan Hughes and Mark Jones won the award, and Neil Taylor, Mark Jones and Craig Morgan went on to earn senior caps for Wales.
