Larne midfielder Joe Thomson has won the Dream Spanish Homes Player of the Month prize for November.

The Scottish native netted in the wins against Cliftonville, Linfield and Coleraine.

The ex-Derry City ace also helped the reigning league champions maintain a perfect November, closing out the month with a 2-1 victory against Glentoran.

He said after receiving the award: “It was a big month for us as we wanted to put ourselves back into contention at the top-of-the table and we’ve managed to do that.

“It is nice to receive an award like this for the first time.

“However, if the team doesn’t do well, then you don’t get awards like these.

“It’s always nice to get a goal or two.

“When you’re in a vein of form like that, it seems like every touch you take goes in.”

Linfield star Joel Cooper was runner-up, with Cliftonville midfielder Rory Hale taking third spot.
