The right handed all-rounder won the September fans’ vote at www.lumbers.co.uk after a successful spell with bat and ball during a difficult month for the County.

The 24-year-old’s month included a 46 not out combined with taking four wickets for 36 runs against Glamorgan in the NatWest Pro40 victory.
