Leading scorer
The Maltese international claimed the Malta Football Association award ahead of Valletta FC captain Gilbert Agius and Sliema Wanderers FC's Brian Said, who came second and third respectively in the vote. The 24-year-old was the Premier League's leading scorer with 21 goals.
Title ambition
"This award is an honour every local player dreams of at the start of every season. I never thought I would command a regular first-team place, never mind win this award. But without my Hibernians team-mates I would not have won." Cohen and Hibernians, who finished third in the 2004/05 table, will play Cyprus's AC Omonia in the UEFA Cup first qualifying round.
