His first goals of the month came away at Swindon Town, where he also bagged his first ever senior hat-trick, helping the Bees to a 4-1 win.

Two goals in consecutive games against Cambridge United (where he also picked up an assist) and Exeter City made it five goals in just three games.

An assist away at Carlisle and a goal away at Lincoln rounded off a very impressive month for the striker, sitting close to the top of the goalscorer chart for the league.

He comes up against strikers Uche Ikpeazu (Cambridge United) and Billy Kee (Accrington Stanley). Stevenage full-back Joe Martin is also up for the award.

The winner will be confirmed later this week.
