The Club is delighted to announce that Farhaan Ali Wahid is the winner of the 2026 Johnny Haynes Trophy.
Currently on loan at Boreham Wood, Ali Wahid came down to Motspur Park earlier this week and was presented with the trophy by the Fulham Supporters’ Trust.

Last season, in his first as a pro, Ali Wahid registered 17 goal contributions in 21 PL2 games as he helped our Young Whites to an impressive fourth-placed finish. He won the division’s Player of the Month award in November and was nominated for Player of the Season.
It was that fine form that saw National League promotion hopefuls Boreham Wood swoop in to sign the winger on loan this summer. He has started four matches, with the Wood seven points clear at the top of the National League after 12 games.
Last month, Ali Wahid received his first call up to the Bangladesh national team. He made his debut against Malaysia, before coming off the bench to score in a defeat to Indonesia.

“It’s amazing to be voted for this award by my teammates, a very rewarding feeling,” said Ali Wahid.
“I couldn’t have done it without my peers. They’re the ones who drive the standards, push me and give me the competition, which has helped me become a better player.
“Looking back at the names who have won this trophy, it’s special.”
Simon Duke of the Fulham Supporters Trust added: "We are honoured and delighted to be able to support this award on an annual basis and this is a great honour for Farhaan because it's voted for by the people that work with him.
"The names on the trophy show how prestigious this award is and Álvaro [Arbeloa] has already shown a willingness to allow youngsters an opportunity at Fulham."
