Player of the Month awards at the Irish FA JD National Academy Residential are a way of recognising and rewarding an individual player's progression, attitude and application in their football development.
Here's a look at the participants who have caught the eye of the coaching team.
Being Player of the Month is an important reward in the development pathway of a young player and recognises the player who showed the best attitude all-round in balancing all aspects of Academy life including Football, School and Education during this period
