Sheffield United striker Patrick Bamford has won the English Football League's player of the month award for December.
Bamford scored four goals across the Blades' six Championship games in December, including a double in their thrilling 5-3 defeat against Wrexham.
"I'm really happy. I'm surprised, I guess, a little bit because I wasn't ever thinking about any individual awards and that was the least of my priorities when coming in, but I think it's testament to the group and the staff and the players," Bamford said., external
"I know it's an individual award, but obviously, as a striker, you can't do it without your team-mates, so I owe a lot to them for that."
He beat Norwich forward Jovon Makama, Preston goalkeeper Daniel Iversen and Leicester midfielder Bobby De Cordova-Reid for the award.
