He was voted the Aberdeen player of the year in 2009 and was part of the team that won the Scottish League Cup in 2014.<ref name="Langfield The Herald Scotland October 2013">{{cite news|title=Aberdeen 1 Dundee United 0: Langfield zeal and Zola goal prove decisive|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/13128226.aberdeen-1-dundee-united-0-langfield-zeal-zola-goal-prove-decisive/|website=The Herald Scotland|date=21 October 2013|access-date=12 April 2026}}</ref>

==Post-playing career== Explaining his decision to join St Mirren goalkeeping coach, Langfield said: "We have a relatively young squad so we need that little bit of experience in there as well. It bodes well for the future. At this stage in my career it’s a challenge that really excites me. I enjoy working with young lads because I like to see them develop. The other thing is I’m a big kid at heart.
