Pawlett, 18, was rewarded for his performances in victories over Rangers and St Johnstone and a draw at Motherwell during November.[LNB]The attacking midfielder, who broke into the Dons first team in February, also won his first cap for Scotland Under 19's in a draw with Germany.[LNB]He told his club's website: "It's been really busy for me recently. I was delighted to sign my four-and-a-half-year contract the other week.[LNB]"I've just broken in to the first team and I think it was right to sign for the club."[LNB]Upon announcing Pawlett's new deal last month, manager Mark McGhee said: "The punters need to enjoy him during this period because I think in four-and-a-half years time, Peter Pawlett will not be a player that Aberdeen can afford."[LNB]Awards like today's will only boost the reputation of the player, who said: "I'm absolutely delighted to win the award. The manager has given me the chance and I've enjoyed every minute of it.[LNB]"The team has been in really good form recently, apart from the weekend (defeat at Celtic) of course, and hopefully we will get back to winning ways on Saturday.[LNB]"Being a young boy in the first team and picking up this award has given my plenty of confidence.[LNB]"I suffered with injuries at the start of the season but since I came on against Dundee in the cup I haven't really ever looked back.[LNB]"I think I need to start scoring goals, that's something I need to bring to my game.[LNB]"But, apart from that, the team has been in quite good form and hopefully we can push on."[LNB][LNB]
