'I added another two against Andorra and scored against Luxembourg in the Nations League this season.
'Thanks to the Football Writers who picked me for this very special award.'
Reavey Solicitors director David Kernaghan said: 'First of all, it's great to see Conor back playing for Liverpool in recent games after his injury problems this season.
'Happily, he was able to play a full part in Northern Ireland's successful Nations League campaign last year and has become one of the first names on Michael O'Neill's teamsheet.
'Conor has an outstanding future in the game and we look forward to watching him on his journey.
'Reavey are once again delighted to support the Northern Ireland Football Writers awards.'
