Upon collecting the Belleek trophy, Hamilton said, “It’s a great honour to win this award two times in a row and I would like to thank the Football Writers’ for recognising our achievements this year.

“Personally, I believe that my players deserve all the credit for this award as they have been the ones who have performed well on a consistent basis.

“We had a fantastic October and although we started November with a defeat, I’m delighted with our form in recent weeks.”
