Efe Ambrose named Ladbrokes Championship Player of the Month for March

Hibs’ defender Efe Ambrose has won the Ladbrokes Championship Player of the Month for March after a string of impressive performances.

The 28 year old joined the at the start of the month on an emergency loan deal from Celtic.

He made his debut in the 2-0 defeat to St Mirren, then delivered three man-of-the-match performances in the matches against Dundee United, Dumbarton and Falkirk.

The Nigerian international opened his account for Hibs in the victory over Falkirk, celebrating with his trademark somersault.

Initially recruited following injuries to Liam Fontaine, Jordon Forster and Paul Hanlon, Ambrose started in central defence then took over from the injured David Gray at right back.

Hibs face Queen of the South at Easter Road on Saturday and could win the title should they take three points and Falkirk fail to beat on-form St Mirren.
