Brighton & Hove Albion's Chris Hughton, Tomer Hemed among February nominees

Championship promotion hopefuls Brighton & Hove Albion have been rewarded for their stellar performances in February with nominations in both the Manager and Player of the Month awards.

Chris Hughton led the Seagulls to 13 points from six games and 15 goals last month - seven more than any other team in the league. Striker Tomer Hemed was the club's star man with five goals and three assists.

Bristol City are also recognised in both categories. Lee Johnson arrived at the Robins and inspired the club to three wins in four games, while defender Aden Flint helped the team keep three clean sheets and scored three goals.

Burnley's Sean Dyche and Simon Grayson of Preston North End are the other two nominees for the manager's prize, while Ipswich Town goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski and Fulham's Tom Cairney complete the player shortlist.

The winners will be announced tomorrow morning.
