EOIN DOYLE HAS been recognised for the remarkable goalscoring form he maintained for Swindon Town throughout December.
After scoring five goals in as many games, the Irish striker was this morning announced as the PFA League Two Player of the Month.
It’s a historic achievement for the 31-year-old Dubliner, who becomes the first player ever to land the award for three consecutive months.
Since he made a loan switch from Bradford City in August, Doyle’s goals have fired Swindon Town to the top of England’s fourth tier.
The former Sligo Rovers marksman scored 23 times in 22 appearances, while also equalling an English football record held by Jamie Vardy by netting in 11 successive games.
However, Swindon’s promotion hopes were dealt a major blow earlier this week when Bradford — who sit in fourth place in League Two — recalled Doyle from a loan spell that was initially due to last until the end of the season.
In winning the award, Doyle saw off competition from fellow Irishman and Bradford City player Anthony O’Connor, Crawley Town’s Glenn Morris, Harry Pell of Colchester United, Crewe Alexandra’s Daniel Powell and Brandon Thomas-Asante of Salford City.

Meath? Controversy?! Never!
Does the ref not record the score. If so what ever he has in his book surely stands
Yes but in spite of all GAA supporters opinion, he’s actually HUMAN and might have made a mistake. If the score is accurate, well done Meath, otherwise replay it is!
Meath controversy maybe, but yet again at the hands of inept officials… No team wants to win or lose like this, GAA have enough resources to manage these games properly, get the finger out
Well Troy, beat tint
Well Troy, best thing you do is grab a whistle and show us all how it is done
Has to be a replay surely?
No Anthony not the case because the point was eventually taken from meath but never given to Antrim. So it would’ve been a draw not a 2 point swing.
How Fr Ted is this?
Surely Meath won’t stand by and take a title they didn’t win , oh wait , sorry I’m thinking out Louth , they probably will.
That ref shouldn’t be allowed to referee an u12 game
What about the ref’s notebook? Surely he has the score in there.
I noticed this live. It still wouldn’t have been a draw as Meath were awarded a point when Antrim scored; therefore a 2 point swing. Antrim won by 1
Didnt see that Sean.. fair enough
Simple solution to Christy Ring draw controversy. Allow both teams compete in All-Ireland Senior C’ship next year.
What did tg4 scoreboard say?
