Leon Clarke named Championship Player of the Month for November

Sheffield United striker Leon Clarke is named the Championship Player of the Month for November after scoring nine goals in four games.

Sheffield United striker Leon Clarke has been named the Championship Player of the Month for November.

The 32-year-old scored nine goals in the month's four games, which included a hat-trick against Fulham and all four goals against Hull City.

Having netted just four times prior to November, Clarke scored the most goals in a single calendar month in English football since Luis Suarez for Liverpool in March 2013.

The veteran forward, whose side is fourth in the table, told the EFL: "It's a really nice achievement. Personally, it was a good month goalscoring- wise but obviously for the team it wasn't so good, we didn't pick up as many points as we would've liked.

"Every time I go on the pitch it's an opportunity to prove to people that doubted me at Championship level. To have 13 goals already has hopefully silenced a few people's opinions of me, but I'm not going to stop at 13 goals, I'm going to keep going and striving to achieve more goals this season."

Albert Adomah of Aston Villa, Barry Douglas of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Derby County's Matej Vydra were also in the running for the award.
