It is also the first time in club history a single player has won four club awards in one season. De Vries netted 15 goals in 16 ASB Premiership matches this season and notched one in the OFC Champions League in a come from behind 3-1 win over Amicale in the group stage.

Another senior international All White picked up an award with Te Atawhai Hudson-Wihongi collecting the club's Young Player of the Year trophy last won by PEC Zwolle and Papua New Guinea-born David Browne.

The club's youth team, the Junior Navy Blues, were recognised for their achievements with Myer Bevan picking up both Player of the Year and Golden Boot for his performances in the ASB Youth League.

Bevan was drafted into the senior Navy Blues and later made his ASB Premiership debut as a late substitute in Auckland City FC's 4-1 win over WaiBOP United at Kiwitea Street on 28 February, 2016.

The Junior Navy Blues Joshua Moody won Sportsman of the Year and Luke Van Kan's progress meant he picked up the team's Most Improved Player Award.
