Accrington Stanley forward Shay McCartan has been named the PFA Fans' Player of the Month for January in Sky Bet League Two.
McCartan scored three goals in four league games as Accrington secured three wins in January.
The 21-year-old secured 46.2 per cent of the vote to beat off competition from Oxford United strike Kemar Roofe (32.6 per cent) and Plymouth midfielder Gregg Wylde (21.2 per cent), who were also on the final three-man shortlist.
This was reduced from an initial 12-man shortlist that included Ashley Hemmings (Dagenham and Redbridge), Bondz N'Gala (Barnet), Jayden Stockley (Exeter City), Jay Simpson (Leyton Orient), John-Joe O'Toole (Northampton Town), Jonathan Meades (AFC Wimbledon), Ricky Holmes (Northampton), Rory Gaffney (Bristol Rovers) and Shaun Miller (Morecambe)
Every month throughout the English football season, fans will have the opportunity to vote on skysports.com for who they think has been the best player in the Barclays Premier League, Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two, after Sky Sports teamed up with the PFA to be the digital platform for the Awards.
Before the vote opens each month, an expert panel produce a shortlist of contenders. Fans are then able to vote for the player they think deserves the award.
The panel includes Sky Sports football pundits Paul Merson, Ian Holloway and Peter Beagrie.
That trio are joined by Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials, and Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters Federation, as well as the winning fan from each month.
