Amario Cozier-Duberry has won the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month for October to continue a remarkable run for the Wanderers’ winger.
Cozier-Duberry takes the prize after a fantastic stretch of games and match-winning performances during last month.
The 20-year-old created one of Mason Burstow’s two goals in a win over Peterborough United and then took centre-stage in vital victories over Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City as the Whites’ top-six challenge gathered pace.
Cozier-Duberry claimed an assist and then the winning goal as Wanderers struck twice in injury-time to win 2-1 at Huddersfield.
And the on-loan Brighton youngster then scored a stunning stoppage-time winner as Steven Schumacher’s men beat then League One leaders Cardiff City 1-0 to end October with a sixth successive home win.
Cozier-Duberry's latest accolade – decided by an EFL judging panel of former Barnsley manager Danny Wilson, Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies – follows awards for Sky Bet League One Young Player of the Month and PFA fans’ Player of the Month for October and September’s Sky Bet League One Goal of the Month for his brilliant equalising strike at Leyton Orient.
“It’s been a great time for me so far this season and I’m delighted and honoured to have added the League One Player of the Month award. I’m grateful to everybody behind that,” said Amario, who has scored seven goals so far this season and four in his last four games.
“October was a good month for us with a fantastic finish. They were two big wins against Huddersfield and Cardiff and I know what it meant to the fans.
“To score important goals – and late ones – to help the team like that was a great feeling and hopefully there’s more to come from us all to keep us challenging in a good position in the league.”
Wanderers’ head coach, Schumacher, added: “Amario has been different class. To be fair, he's been good all season and in the last month he's come up with some really big moments for us and been the one who's taken the headlines.
“He’s been excellent since the day he came in during pre-season and we've loved working with him. He deserves everything that he's got because he's a young player who is desperate to learn and desperate to get better.
“It looks like he's really enjoying his football at the moment, so we want that to continue for as long as possible.”
Schumacher was also in the running for a Sky Bet League One award for October after guiding the Whites to three wins out of four during the month to earn a place on the four-man shortlist for the managerial prize.
However, Stockport County’s Dave Challinor landed the award after County secured maximum points to head towards the top of the table.
Meanwhile, you can catch Super Amario in action again at the Toughsheet Community Stadium in a big game against Bradford City on Saturday, 22nd November when he will looking to help the Whites secure a ninth successive home win and continue their climb up the League One table.
