Preston North End central midfielder Daniel Johnson has been nominated for Sky Bet’s Player of the Month award for March.
The midfield man, who joined the Lilywhites during the January transfer window, has been in sparkling form since his arrival at Deepdale, this culminating in an explosive March where he netted several game changing goals.
The former Aston Villa youngster scored three times in six appearances in the calendar month to add to his three goals in February, in a victory over Peterborough United and in draws with Doncaster Rovers and Fleetwood Town, the latter being live on Sky Sports.
He also found the target against Bradford City on Easter Monday to take his tally for the season to ten with seven of those coming in his last 11 games for Simon Grayson’s men.
Johnson faces still competition for the monthly accolade however, up against Billy Clarke (Bradford City), Aden Flint (Bristol City) and Ian Henderson (Rochdale).
The winner will be announced on Friday 10th April, with the judging panel comprising of Sky Sports’ Football League expert Don Goodman; Football League Head of Communications John Nagle; League Managers’ Association Director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet Football Trading Manager Paul Lowery making the final decision.
Sky Bet are the title sponsor of the Football League. This season, a £250,000 Sky Bet Transfer Fund will go to a Football League Club to spend on players in the 2015 summer transfer window.
