The Tigers went top of the table with 11 goals and a maximum 12 points in January under Bruce's leadership.

Hernandez is second in the Championship scoring charts behind Burnley's Andre Gray and was on fire last month.

The Uruguayan scored six goals in four games, including a hat-trick in the 6-0 thrashing of Charlton Athletic.
