Ards striker Adam Salley has become the first person to win the NIFWA Championship Player of the Month award three times in one season.

Salley bagged seven goals in April to add the April award to his November and March trophies.

His four-goal haul against Dundela on the last day of the season also meant he finished the campaign as the division's top scorer with 27 league goals.

The man on loan at Ards from Portadown said: “I think people who read the papers and see social media will be sick of the sight of me.

“But I like to share these things on my social media because I think it’s important to give yourself credit.

“I put the work in and I scored the goals, so I’m getting the rewards."
