Watford striker Britt Assombalonga has been nominated for the League Two Player of the Month Award.

Assombalonga scored five goals as his loan club Southend United secured five wins, a draw and a defeat in all competitions during the month of September.

The 19-year-old is up against Port Vale’s Tom Pope and Rochdale’s Andrew Tutte and the winner will be announced on Sky Sports News at 10am on Friday.

Assombalonga's boss at Southend Paul Sturrock is also up for the manager's award.
