The 20-year-old, currently on loan from Norwich, scored five League One goals in Noember, including a hat-trick in Coventry's 4-1 win over Gillingham, helping them up to second. 

Murphy topped the poll ahead of Port Vale forward Ajay Leitch-Smith and midfielder Jermaine Anderson of Peterborough United.

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 then 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.
