Last updated : 04 February 2009 By Shrimpers24

Good to post some positive news after last night's farce!

17-year-old Stuart O'Keefe has been nominated in the Apprentice of the Year section.

But he faces competition from Carlisle United defender Tom Aldred and MK Dons striker Daniel Powell to land the accolade.

Stuart has made great strides with the club and signed his first professional contract earlier on this season.

The midfielder has made one League One start this term against Leeds United at Elland Road and made two other appearances from the substitutes' bench against Leyton Orient and Yeovil Town.

He also came on as a sub in the 2-0 FA Cup win over AFC Telford.
