Reading striker Kevin Doyle has been named the Coca-Cola Championshp's Powerade Player of the Month for September.
Doyle was in prolific from throughout September, netting five goals in as many league games, beginning his scoring run with a second hat-trick of the season against Sheffield Wednesday and also bagging a brace against Swansea.
Also short-listed were Joey Gudjonsson of Burnley, Martin Albrechtsen of Derby and Wolves' Michael Kightly.
Chris Kamara, chairman of the Powerade Player of the Month Awards panel, said: "Kevin Doyle is a wonderful talent who first burst onto the scene a couple of years ago.
"He had a quiet year by his standards last season but his appetite for the game seems to have returned and he's enjoying a wonderful start to the current campaign.
"His goals haul in September speaks for itself and has helped keep the Royals firmly in touch at the top of the Championship."
