Izale McLeod heads up League One Player of the Month shortlist

Crawley Town forward Izale McLeod is among the contenders up for February's Player of the Month award in League One.

The 30-year-old scored four goals in five games last month, including a hat-trick in Crawley's 5-1 thumping of Barnsley.

Jamie Murphy of Sheffield United also takes his place among the nominees after netting three times for the promotion-chasing Blades.

Bristol City defender Aden Flint joins the pair on the shortlist, scoring two goals and helping City to keep four clean sheets during a busy month for the Robins.

Completing the quartet is Gillingham's Bradley Dack, who scored three goals in six matches for the Gills.

The winner of the award is due to be announced on Friday.
