Derby County star wins League One player of the month award for February

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has been awarded the PFA fans player of the month award for February.

The Guatemalan international has been one of Derby's best players this season and so it is no surprise to see him pick up an award for his efforts.

In Februrary, Mendez-Laing scored two goals and recorded five assists in six games, a very impressive showing from the winger.

That takes his season long tally up to eight goals and 14 assists, which amounts to the most goal involvements in League One this season, by a sizeable margin.

The 31 year-old overcame some big names to clinch the award such as Portsmouth's Abu Kamara, Barnsley's Adam Phillips and Portsmouth's Paddy Lane.

However, it would be hard to argue against Mendez-Laing coming out on top as he was simply excellent in a month of inconsistency for Derby.

The winger was a constant threat throughout and has been all season. If the Rams do earn promotion come the end of the season, then a lot of that success will be put down to Mendez-Laing.

He makes it the third Derby player in a row to win the player of the month award with Eiran Cashin in December and James Collins in January. An impressive few accolades for Paul Warne's side.
