At just 25 years old, Mitov will undoubtedly draw a lot of attention over the summer transfer window as he enters the final year of his contract. The goalkeeper refused to rule out a departure, but emphasised his love for the club following their 2-2 draw against Cheltenham.<\/p>\n
“I have another contract for next season so I\u2019m definitely here for now. But you never know what can happen in football. I can\u2019t say yes but I can\u2019t say no at the same time because I love it here. It\u2019s the club that\u2019s given me everything in football.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Young player of the season: Ben Worman<\/h3>\n
Although Bonner has worked at every level of Cambridge’s academy, there hasn’t really been a young breakout player in their first season back in League One. The closest has to be 20-year-old Ben Worman, who played 13 league matches for the U’s this season.<\/p>\n
The midfielder became the youngest ever player to take part in a competitive match for the club at the age of 16, but only ever managed to make one league appearance before Cambridge won promotion in 2020\/21. His stunning strike at Morecambe saw him gain widespread attention on social media, with many fans hoping that he could be the long-term replacement for Wes Hoolahan.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen as to whether or not this comes to fruition, as Worman struggled to nail down a regular spot on the starting lineup, despite making the XI away at Newcastle in the FA Cup. With Bonner having a number of midfield options at his disposal, the U’s academy graduate may find that his short-term future is better away from the club, with a loan to a League Two side surely a possibility for next season.<\/p>\n
Goal of the season: Ben Worman vs Morecambe<\/h3>\n
Almost any of May’s five league goals for Cambridge this season could be labelled as goal of the season, as could Iredale’s screamer away at Shrewsbury Town in October. Worman’s strike against Morecambe has often been criticised for his heavy yet fortunate touch that allowed him to strike the ball so powerfully, but it doesn’t take away from what is a stunning move from start to finish.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the importance of the goal in terms of the result makes it all the more special. Iredale’s goal, as incredible as it was, came in a 4-1 defeat, while Worman’s turned the tide in what was one of Cambridge’s most important wins of their season.<\/p>\n
