Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has won the International Rugby League Golden Boot award.

The 26-year-old beat New Zealand team-mate Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Sydney Roosters prop Siosiua Taukeiaho, to be crowned the best player in the international game last night.

Former All Blacks star, Sonny Bill Williams also won the 2013 International Player of the Year award, which has been replaced by the Golden Boot Award after the International Rugby League took control of the award from Rugby League World magazine.

Tuivasa-Sheck says putting on the black and white jersey and representing his country is always a privilege and winning the Golden Boot Award is a huge honour.

St. George Illawarra Dragons star,  Jessica Sergis won the women's Golden Boot award, which was introduced last year.
