Ireland's young star Aaron Connolly has been named the Premier League 2 Player of the Month for November.

The Brighton striker has 17 goals in the under-23 competition this season and hit the net three times in November.

Connolly, 18, also scored a hat-trick in the Checkatrade Trophy against MK Dons in a 3-2 victory.

The Ireland under-age international has travelled with the senior Brighton squad already this season but has yet to make a matchday squad.

He said on social media that delighted with the award, adding that it has "been a good month personally and for the team".

Connolly is among a number of young Irish attackers with a growing reputation.
