WORCESTER Warriors wing Josh Adams has been nominated for the 2017-18 Aviva Premiership Land Rover Discovery of the Season award.

The Welshman has had a remarkable campaign at Sixways, crossing the whitewash 13 times in England's top-flight.

Adams is level with Newcastle Falcons' Vereniki Goneva at the top of the Premiership try-scoring charts and will be vying with his rival to claim the honour after the final round of games on Saturday.

The 23-year-old’s form propelled him to the attentions of Wales head coach Warren Gatland earlier this season and was rewarded with his international debut in the opening games of this year’s Six Nations.

The talented back is nominated for the award alongside Gloucester duo Ruan Ackermann and Jake Polledri, Exeter Chiefs’ Sam Simmonds and Wasps’ Jack Willis.

Ex-England international David Flatman, who was one of the judges for this season's award, felt the shortlist highlighted the quality of players coming through Premiership clubs' ranks.

“The long list of players was an impressive one and it was a tough job to pick the shortlist with all of the nominees catching the eyes of rugby fans all season, and showing themselves to be class acts and deserving of this nomination," Flatman said.

“It’s no coincidence that the majority of previous winners have gone on to represent their country; testament not just to their clubs but the players themselves, and this year’s list is the same.”

Players who are aged under 23 on September 1, 2017 and have featured in eight or more Premiership games are eligible to win Land Rover Discovery of the Season.

To celebrate the winning player’s achievement, they will have the opportunity to become a Land Rover Ambassador for the 2017-18 season.

Past winners include Ellis Genge, Maro Itoje, Henry Slade, Billy Vunipola, Joe Launchbury, Owen Farrell, Manu Tuilagi, Ben Youngs, Jordan Turner-Hall, Danny Cipriani, Tom Rees, Tom Varndell and Ollie Smith.

The winner will rub shoulders with the biggest names in English rugby at a glittering ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Wednesday, May 16.

The following awards will also be announced: Aviva Premiership Rugby Player of the Season, Aviva Community Player of the Season, BT Sport Dream Team, Citizen Try of the Season, Gilbert Golden Boot, Ricoh Director of Rugby of the Season, Singha Premiership Rugby 7s Player of the Season, Top Try Scorer of the Season.
