Tyrese Campbell has capped a dream month by becoming one of six players to be nominated for February’s Premier League 2 Player of the Month.
The Stoke City striker scored five goals in two PL2 Division 2 matches, before making his Premier League debut in the 1-1 draw at Leicester City.
After PL2 club coaches picked the best performance by an opponent in their league matches, the shortlist was selected by the Premier League Football Development Panel.
The Panel will also choose the winner, to be announced on 9 March.
