Radek Vitek completes clean sweep with hat-trick of awards at Bristol City

Manchester United loanee Radek Vitek has collected a host of individual awards at Bristol City, bringing an impressive stint to a close in equally stylish fashion.

Outstanding spell

Vitek has enjoyed a brilliant time at Bristol, having joined the club last summer from United. He was initially signed to provide cover for the injured Max O’Leary.

However, Vitek’s superb performances saw him keep his place in the starting XI long after O’Leary returned to action.

Saturday’s 2-0 win over Stoke City marked Vitek’s 41st Championship appearance this term. He has kept 12 clean sheets in that period. Now-sacked boss Gerhard Struber was a big admirer of Vitek and openly expressed a desire to keep him at the club beyond the end of the season.

Roy Hodgson also retained Vitek as his trusted number one. However, the United man recently revealed that he has no knowledge of where his future lies. While he didn’t rule out playing for Bristol again, he indicated that his immediate plan is to return to United, where his transfer situation will be clarified.

As Bristol supporters eagerly await confirmation of Vitek’s possible return, it has been announced that the on-loan United goalkeeper has claimed all three of the club’s premier individual accolades this season.
