ANDY Cook might have ended the season with a personal trophy but the striker insists he will not rest until he adds some silverware to Grimsby Town's cabinet.
The Mariners tasted disappointment in the Conference play-off semi-finals as well as losing an FA Trophy final to Wrexham.
But it was still a season to remember for Cook in his debut campaign with Town.
With Liam Hearn ruled out for much of the season due to a ruptured Achilles, Cook suddenly found himself as the main man and he didn't disappoint, finishing the season with 16 goals in all competitions.
That earned the 22-year-old the Sportsbeat Young Player of the Year Award as the fans spoke to land their man glory at the Non-League Paper's Nation Game Awards. Cook was delighted to net the award at Fulham's Craven Cottage.
But while admitting the season had been a good one on a personal level, Cook insists it would have been all the more sweeter to have helped his club to glory in the process.
"It was a good season for me personally. I enjoyed myself and I am really pleased to win the award," he said.
"The stand out moment has to be the goal at Wembley because it is the one that everyone dreams about.
"But while that was decent it was just a shame that we couldn't get promotion – to come so close and still miss out was disappointing.
"Hopefully we can come back next year and do better, be stronger and put that right."
