# Leeds United: Kalvin Phillips’ Community Player of the Year nomination has many fans gushing

**Responding to a post from Leeds United’s [official club account](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/community/26286/kalvin-phillips-nominated-for-player-in-the-community), many Whites fans have been in awe over Kalvin Phillips’ Community Player of the Year nomination for the third year in a row – taking to Twitter and praising the player for his performances this campaign.**

Phillips, who has registered the most tackles per game on average (2.8) out of any other Leeds player according to [WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds), is being nominated for the Community Player of the Year accolade for a third consecutive season.

The Englishman, who has started [31 games](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds) for Marcelo Bielsa’s side in the Championship this season, playing a major role in their hunt for promotion, is being put forward for the award again due to his consistent involvement with community projects – visiting foundation programmes and building ‘[strong](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/community/26286/kalvin-phillips-nominated-for-player-in-the-community)‘ relationships with members of the Whites fan base. The 24-year-old could also be found attending a number of charity events throughout 2019, resulting in his third successive nomination for the prize.
