Bohemians’ striker Georgie Kelly has been announced as the SSE Airtricity/ Soccer Writers Ireland Player of the Month for June.

The Donegal native scored five goals in June, netting four times in one night against Drogheda United and scoring the winner against Shamrock Rovers.

“It’s nice to win the award,” Kelly told the SSE Airtricity League website.

“We have performed well as a club this month so to get that little bit of recognition is great.

“I think it has taken us time to gel. At the start of the season, we struggled and results weren’t going our way.

“I was confident that once we did gel we’d become more fluid and create more chances. In the last number of weeks, we’ve done that and the goals back that up.”

The 24 year old is currently the top scorer in the Premier Division with 12 goals to his name so far this season.
