SIMON COX - PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Posted on: Tue 07 Apr 2009

Swindon Town striker Simon Cox has won the League 1 Powerade Player of the Month award after enjoying a phenomenal month, netting eight goals in as many league games.

His scoring run began with a goal in his side's narrow defeat to Colchester United and was followed by back-to-back braces to secure comprehensive home wins over both Southend United and Hereford United.

Cox's outstanding goal-scoring form culminated in him hitting a hat-trick to seal all three points for the Robins at Northampton Town and help them move away from the relegation places in Coca-Cola League 1.

Also short-listed for the March award were Jermaine Beckford of Leeds United, Chris Whelpdale of Peterborough United and Scunthorpe United's Gary Hooper.

Chris Kamara, Chairman of the Powerade Player of the Month Awards panel, said:

"Simon Cox is simply a goal machine. All the big clubs have had a look at him and you can see why. He's beginning to reach his full potential and his goals have helped Swindon stay clear of the League 1 relegation zone."

The winners were announced on Big League Weekend 2 on Monday evening.
