Bristol City's record signing won Goal of the Year at the 2010 Football League Awards last night.

Striker Nicky Maynard scooped the prize for his spectacular second-half volley at Loftus Road on Boxing Day in the club's 2-1 defeat to Championship rivals QPR.

The club record £2.25million signing from Crewe Alexandra saw his strike chosen on the night ahead of four other short-listed goals by the 900 guests at the awards ceremony in Park Lane, London.

His sublime volley on the turn was initially short-listed by judges then voted into the top five via a public vote on Soccer AM before being chosen on the night as the winner.

The 23-year-old has scored 11 goals in 35 appearances for the Robins this season.
