Linfield boss David Healy is the NIFWA Manager of the Month for November.

In the month, Healy's Blues defeated Carrick Rangers, Ballymena United, Larne and Portadown, as they extended their lead at the top of the table.

Healy is now one of an elite group of managers who have won the monthly prize 20 or more times. He joins Stephen Baxter, David Jeffrey and Ronnie McFall in that exclusive club.

Healy said: "It's been a strange month, because we're not playing as well as we can but we are still top of the league.

"The Larne win at Inver Park was the highlight of the month. We reached a high level and defended well. I want to see more performances like that."
