Under-18 midfielder Billy Leach’s second goal against Crewe Alexandra has been shortlisted for League Football Education’s Goal of the Month for October.
The 18-year-old, whose first strike in the same game was nominated for the Tigers’ own Goal of the Month competition, has been included on an EFL-wide eight-goal shortlist of Academy players.
Latching onto Harry Wallis’ long, searching pass, the second-year scholar drew the keeper before confidently drilling right footed into the bottom corner – the decisive goal in a 2-1 win.
Supporters can vote for Billy via LFE’s online poll, with voting open until noon on Tuesday 16th November.
