Middlesbrough’s five-game unbeaten run in October has been recognized with two divisional accolades after taking the club to the top of the Championship, according to Yahoo Sports.
Head coach Kim Hellberg was named the manager of the month following an impressive stretch of performances last month, per Yahoo Sports.
Striker Will Lankshear also scooped the player accolade after enjoying a prolific month in front of goal, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
The team took 13 points from a possible 15 during October, which included notable victories over promotion rivals Wolves and Stoke, according to Yahoo Sports.
Lankshear scored seven goals in five games during the month, netting doubles against Bolton and Charlton, as detailed by BBC Sport.
Those strikes took the young forward’s tally to 15 goals in all competitions since he joined the club from Tottenham for an initial fee of 10 million pounds in July, per BBC Sport.
Birmingham’s Chris Davies, Tonda Eckert of Southampton, and Portsmouth boss John Mousinho were also nominated for the manager of the month award, according to Yahoo Sports.
