Will Vaulks recognised by the EFL as one of the PFA Community Players of the Season.
Vaulks, along with Bristol Rovers' Alex Rodman and Matty Dolan of Newport County have been recognised by the EFL as the PFA Community Players of the Season.
The accolades were announced on the EFL's Day of Action, with players and managers joining community activities including food bank deliveries, projects to tackle loneliness and mental health, support programmes for refugees and asylum seekers, initiatives for children living in poverty, and disability sports sessions.
On behalf of all of us at City and @CCFC_Foundation, our sincerest congratulations to Will Vaulks for this hugely deserved recognition and the ways in which he continues to represent his club in our communities.

Clubs were also recognised for their efforts, with Watford announced as London's Community Club of the Year and Bristol Rovers winning the accolade for the South West and Wales. Sunderland were singled out in the North East and Yorkshire, while Blackburn Rovers were named Community Club of the Year in the North West. Port Vale and Portsmouth won for Midlands and South East and East respectively.
Vaulks, an ambassador for the Cardiff City FC Foundation, told Sky Sports News: "It's really nice to be recognised. These things are a little tough though, as you don't do it for these reasons. You do it because you want to, and you want to help people and make a difference.
"It's something that throughout my career so far I've made an effort to be involved with. As players, we have a responsibility to our club and the city in which we play football because we're in a fortunate position. We carry that responsibility at Cardiff City, and we channel that into helping as many people as we can."
