West Brom loanee Morton nominated for monthly prize

Callum Morton has been nominated for February player of the month

Cobblers striker Callum Morton has been nominated for the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month award for February.

The 20-year-old has been in superb form since signing on loan from Championship outfit West Brom at the end of January, scoring five goals last month.

He netted the winner at Macclesfield Town, scored twice in defeat at Walsall and then bagged another brace when Cobblers won 3-0 at Grimsby Town.

Morton, who's also impressed with his work ethic and energy off the ball, is the third Northampton player to be nominated for a monthly award this season, following Nicky Adams (January) and Scott Wharton (November).

He'll face competition from Cheltenham full-back Chris Hussey, Port Vale centre-back Leon Legge and Grimsby striker Charles Vernam, who scored a magnificent goal to complete a hat-trick at Colchester United last month.

As for the manager award, John Askey, Mark Bonner, Michael Duff and Richie Wellens have all been nominated.
