ADELAIDE United defender Scott Jamieson has been chosen as this season's Hyundai A-League rising star.
The youngster, recently called into the Socceroos squad, fought off competition from James Holland, Tarek Elrich and Michael Zullo for the award.
He said: "I didn't really expect it so I'm very proud and very happy.
"There are some fantastic players in there and anyone who was nominated could have won it.
"I'm just happy to be at these awards and to being playing first-team football, so to win an award like this is something I didn't really think about."
Jamieson admits his head is still spinning after a year in which he played his first A-League game, appeared in the Asian Champions League and represented his country.
Now he wants a grand final victory to top it all off.
"It's coming pretty thick and fast. Earning my first cap at this age is something I didn't really think about, so hopefully the next step is to win the grand final.
"That's what I am concentrating on now. I'm pretty confident we can do it," he said.
