He has picked up seven team of the week awards throughout.
Antoni Sarcevic (Midfielder – Bolton Wanderers)
The League 2 promotion expert has 10 goal contributions in 31 appearances this season and has been a rock in midfield for Bolton this season as they look to gain promotion back to League One. The 29 year old averages 26.3 accurate passes per game (70%) and has created six big chances this season.
Chris Hussey (Midfeilder – Cheltenham Town)
Hussey’s brilliant free kick against Carlisle last week was influential towards Cheltenham’s promotion and the 32 year old has made 42 appearances for Michael Duff’s men this season. Hussey has averaged 28.8 accurate passes per game (74%), making the team of the week twice throughout the campaign.
Matt Jay (Forward – Exeter City)
Having come through an academy that just keeps producing at Exeter, Matt Jay has been ruthless in front of goal this season with 17 goals and 7 assists in 43 appearances this season. He made the Team of the week seven times throughout the season.
Paul Mullin (Forward – Cambridge Utd)
League Two’s top scorer this season with 31 goals in 45 appearances, Mullin has more than earned his place in this side and is a large part of the reason for Cambridge’s success this season. Having also chipped in four assists, Mullin has more goal contributions than any other player in the division this season by far, making the team of the week eight times along the way this season.
