John Smyth has been awarded the NCAFC Player of the Month award for October.

‘Smythy’ was in terrific form during October – scoring a hat-trick against Richill in the Irish Cup along with goals against Valley Rangers and Broomhedge in the league. After a mixed start to the season he developed into one of the club’s key players and will be missed during his absence due to work.

John took time out of his busy work schedule on Thursday evening to speak to us:

“I am delighted to be awarded the October Player of the Month, it’s a great personal achievement for me. I missed the last game of the month but managed to score some goals in the other games.”

“I am still signed with the club and every opportunity I get to come back home I will do my best to help the team out.

“I’d like to extend my thanks to Darren for giving me the opportunity to show what I can do. I’d also like to thank my team mates, they’re a great bunch of lads. I hope to be back playing soon but until then I’d like to wish my team mates the very best of luck.”
