Congratulations to Ryan Curran, who has been crowned November’s Dream Spanish Homes Player of the Month by the NI Football Writers’ Association.

The striker scored four goals during the period, including a volleyed strike against Glentoran that has been named NIFWA’s Goal of the Month.

“I’m delighted to win both awards, particularly the Player of the Month prize which is a prestigious trophy,” said the 29-year-old.

“I’d like to thank the Football Writers for selecting me and their sponsor Dream Spanish Homes for the support. I’d also like to thank everyone at Cliftonville, as you can’t win individual awards without the help of your team-mates.

“We’ve had a good start to the season. Hopefully we can kick on over the Christmas period.”
