Baker picks up FAW Clubman of the Year gong

TNS’ Phil Baker was awarded the FAW’s 2016 Clubman of the Year Award at the 2016 FAW Awards night. 

Baker has been a stalwart for TNS having joined the club back in 2005.

With over a decade at the club, the defender has become a club legend, winning the Welsh Premier League title an incredible eight times.

The 33 year old, who is known as Pip, holds the Welsh Premier League record for the most appearances in Europe. He broke the record this summer as he notched up his 31st appearance in Europe to break the record previously held by his club’s assistant manager, Scott Ruscoe.

The award is justified by his commitment to the club over the last decade and the club will be hoping he still has a few more years left in him before it’s time for him to hang up his boots.
