Rovers striker named League One player of the month for September
Bristol Rovers striker Jonson Clarke-Harris has been named the Sky Bet League One player of the month for September.
It was not just his five goals in five games, including a spectacular overhead kick against Accrington Stanley, which stood out, but the fact that every one of his efforts was either an equaliser or the goal which gave Rovers a lead.
No player in England’s top four divisions has scored more than the 19 goals the 25-year-old has notched since signing on deadline day in January.
is needed now More than ever
Clarke-Harris said: “I’m delighted to win this award on the back of what was a good month for both the team and myself.
“Throughout September, the lads really clicked on the pitch and we are now striving to carry this good momentum forward.
“The goal against Accrington was probably my personal highlight. I couldn’t really remember how I ended up attempting the bicycle kick, but it just sort of happened and the next thing I knew the ball was in the back of the net!
“It’s been a positive month and now we look to build on that across the upcoming games.”
