He won the April award thanks to his team’s impressive victories over Crusaders, Cliftonville and Linfield. The Lurgan Blues will enter this month’s Europa League Play-Off in a good run of form.

Upon collecting the Belleek trophy a delighted Hamilton said, “I’m delighted to win this award for a third time this season. In a way, it probably sums up our season which has consisted of some great runs of form and them some disappointing patches.

“The boys were superb in April and this award is really a recognition of their achievements. We can now look forward to the Play-Offs with confidence.”
