The midfielder was recently awarded the player of the month award and he opened up on his delight at achieving the accolade.
He said: " I found out yesterday and let my mum, dad and girlfriend know and they’re obviously quite proud, but it’s not about me at the end of the day.
"I’m just quite grateful to play here in this team and obviously playing in a good team naturally helps you win individual accolades, so I’m lucky enough to do that.
"I’m just getting luckier! I don’t know, I'm in the box probably a bit more and taking a few more pops at goal. I’ve been encouraged to get in the box as much as possible as well, and naturally, when you’re in goal-scoring positions, the higher chances are that you’re going to score more goals, and that’s kind of the case at the moment.
