TORONTO - Canadian captain Christine Sinclair continues to evolve as a soccer player — and win awards.The 31-year-old star forward has been named Canadian Womens Player of the Year for the 11th consecutive year. Midfielder Atiba Hutchinson was chosen top mens player for the third time.Sinclair, from Burnaby, B.C., played every minute of Canadas 11 international womens matches in 2014. She scored one goal for Canada and seven for the Portland Thorns FC of the NWSL.I think Ive developed into a more complete soccer player as a result of (John Herdman) being head coach, Sinclair said in a conference call Thursday. Hes discovered more players that are able to out the ball in the back of the net.I think I do more on the soccer field than what I did say five six years ago when I only scored goals.That includes dropping back into midfield, creating chances and leading in other ways.I think my biggest step this year has been a leader on the field, organizing and just being that vocal player on the field for our team, she said. Sinclair won a very close vote over Houston Dash goalkeeper Erin McLeod and Sky Blue FC midfielder Sophie Schmidt.There are some incredible soccer players for the womens side and some players who had incredible years as well, Sinclair said. Its a huge honour but Ive never really focused on the individual stuff.The focus right now is completely on next summer (and the World Cup).Its actually the 12th time that Sinclair has won the award. She first won it in 2000 and has had a stranglehold on it since 2004.The 31-year-old Hutchinson, from Brampton, Ont., has played in every league game this season for Besiktas, one of the top clubs in Turkey. He also appeared in four of five games for the mens national team, scoring from the penalty spot in the 1-1 draw with Bulgaria in May.Hutchinson came in first ahead of Ludogorets Razgrad goalkeeper Milan Borjan and Birmingham City defender David Edgar.Atiba has been the unheralded leader of our mens national team and one of the top players in the CONCACAF region for years, while Christine has been a remarkably influential figure for womens football and our sport in general throughout the years, Canada Soccer president Victor Montagliani said in a statement.The awards are sponsored by BMO.

Fernando Rodney took part in Seattles first workout for pitchers and catchers Thursday, soon after the reliever signed a two-year contract worth $14 million. Rodney reported to spring training on Wednesday and passed his physical, clearing the way for the Mariners to add him to their 40-man roster and announce his contract. "It feels good to be here," Rodney said. "You guys know my situation. I just try to come in and close the game. I think we have the right guys here." The 36-year-old Rodney was 5-4 with 37 saves and a 3.38 ERA for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013. He ranked second in the American League in saves and ERA over the past two seasons, with a combined 85 saves and a 1.91 ERA. The Dominican right-hander said three other teams were interested in signing him -- Baltimore, the New York Mets and Cleveland. Rodney has a hhistory with Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon, who was the bullpen coach in Detroit when Rodney played for the Tigers.dddddddddddd Rodney said he wasnt surprised that it took until February for him to sign with a team. "I think I got the right (timing) and the right organization," Rodney said. "They were more interested in me, thats why Im here." Tom Wilhelmsen and Danny Farquhar were last seasons closers for Seattle. They combined for 40 saves, with Farquhar replacing the struggling Wilhelmsen in early August. "Were extremely happy to have him and he certainly solidifies the back end of our bullpen," McClendon said. Rodney is known for the way he wears his cap, the bill tilted to one side, and his save celebration in which he shoots an imaginary arrow into the sky. "Great character. The fans in Seattle are going to love him," McClendon said. ' ' '
