The Parisian centre-half was named best centre-half at the 2023 EHF Excellence Awards on Monday in Vienna (Austria).
Three weeks after being crowned MVP of the Liqui Moly Starligue for the third time in a row, Luc Steins, the club from the capital's No6, has this time been rewarded on the European stage by winning the best centre-half trophy awarded by the European Handball Federation.
