'It's special to win an individual award in football': Loughgall stopper named as Championship Player of the Month for February

The former Linfield and Carrick Rangers goalkeeper kept five clean sheets in seven games as the Villagers finished the month unbeaten, making solid progress in both the Playr-Fit Championship and the Irish Cup.

Glendinning said: "I'd like to thank the Football Writers' Association for this award. It's special to win an individual award in football, but it would not be possible without my teammates.

"At the moment, we're defending well as a unit. We only conceded two goals in what was a very busy month in terms of games.

"Our aim now is try and challenge the top three in the Championship. You never know what is possible in this division.”
