On-form striker Christian Doidge has been named Ladbrokes Premiership Player of the Month for November.

The Welshman has seven goals from his last seven games, with six of them coming in November.

A hat-trick in the 4-1 win over St Johnstone was followed by goals against Motherwell, St Mirren, Kilmarnock and Ross County.

He becomes the first Hibs’ player to win the top-flight Player of the Month award since February 2013, when Leigh Griffiths was honoured.

Head Coach Jack Ross said: “We are delighted to see Christian’s form has been rewarded with the Ladbrokes Premiership Player of the Month award for November.

“Christian is someone who gives his all every week for the team – the kind of selfless player who is appreciated by his team-mates.

“He brings so much to the team and has shown that he can score different types of goals.

“He’s a pleasure to work with and I’m sure he’ll continue to go from strength to strength.

“While it’s an individual award, I know Christian would also be the first to say that he wouldn’t be in this position if it wasn’t for the help of those around him – whether that’s his team-mates on the park or the staff at HTC who work with him on a daily basis.”
