The Dream Spanish Homes Player of the Month for September is Crusaders midfielder Philip Lowry.

The Limavady native is in a rich vein of goalscoring form this season, bagging three goals in the month of September.

This is the third time the former Linfield man has won the monthly award.

He said: “Sometimes goals can mask poor performances, but on this occasion, I feel like I’m playing well as well as scoring goals.

“My goals have proved to be quite important, which is probably the most important thing. It’s always an honour to win this award and I’d like to thank the Football Writers’ for selecting me. I’d also like to thank the award’s sponsors Dream Spanish Homes.”

Runner-up in the monthly prize was Glentoran defender Paddy McClean with Carrick Rangers man Andy Mitchell third.
