Dream Month

COLERAINE striker Matthew Shevlin has been named Dream Spanish Homes Player of the Month for January…

The 24-year-old scored seven goals in the first month of the year, finding the net against Loughgall, Portadown, Cliftonville, Carrick Rangers and Dungannon Swifts.

Shevlin said: “I’m delighted with my start to 2023, but more importantly the team has also made a good start to the new year. Hopefully we can kick on from here and win some silverware.

“I’d like to thank the Football Writers’ and their new sponsors Dream Spanish Homes for this award.”

It’s the second time this season that the Coleraine forward claimed the prestigious monthly prize. He also won the August award.

Linfield’s Eetu Vertainen was runner-up with Larne defender Cian Bolger third.
