Vincent-Young Wins PFA Fans' Player of the Month Award - Ipswich Town News
Town right-back Kane Vincent-Young has been voted the PFA Fans’ League One Player of the Month award for September.
The 23-year-old, who joined Town from Colchester in August, enjoyed a superb month in which he scored his first two goals for the Blues. Also among those nominated was Town keeper Tomas Holy.
It’s the second time a Blues player has won the award this season with James Norwood carrying off the August gong.
Vincent-Young, who has also been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month award, suffered a groin injury at the weekend at Fleetwood but on Tuesday assistant manager Stuart Taylor said he is expected back in training next week.
"He’s been in having his treatment and [physio] Matt Byard’s confident enough that he’ll be back not too far away," he said.
"We’ve got a break now with the four days with no game at the end of the week, so we’re looking for him to be back in for training next week.”
