Corry has been the inspirational force behind Leicester
|
Leicester's Martin Corry, Ollie Smith and John Wells took the top honours at the Zurich Premiership awards ceremony.
Tigers and England number eight Corry was named player of the season, while centre Smith won the Land Rover Discovery of the Season Award.
And Leicester chief Wells headed the best Director of Rugby category.
Martin Johnson, who retires at the end of the season, received the Zurich Champion Award for his "significant and long-lasting contribution" to the game.
Corry's performances were instrumental in Tigers finishing top after the 22-game regular league campaign.
They will contest the 14 May Premiership final at Twickenham against Wasps or Sale Sharks.
Elsewhere, Northampton full-back Bruce Reihana received the try of the season award for his score against Bath last September.
Bath were recognised in winning the fair play award, after picking up the fewest yellow and red cards this term.
England hooker Steve Thompson, meanwhile, won the Powergen Community player of the season award for his commitment to community work and dedication to the sport at several different levels.
