Wilks Nominated For February Player Of The Month

Forward Mallik Wilks has been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month award for February.

The 22-year-old notched six goals in seven appearances during the month to take his then-season tally to a career-best 18.

His standout performance came away to Wigan when he netted his first professional hat-trick in a thumping 5-0 win, which included a goal with his weaker right foot.

He scored two headers in a thrilling 3-3 draw at former club Doncaster and converted a penalty in the comfortable 3-0 victory at AFC Wimbledon.

Wilks faces competition from Peterborough frontman Jonson Clarke-Harris, Lincoln midfielder Jorge Grant and Sunderland striker Charlie Wyke for the February prize.
