See the Sky Bet League Two Manager and Player of the Month winners for August

The winners of the Sky Bet League Two Manager and Player of the Month Awards for August are:

Manager of the Month

Graham Alexander (MK Dons)

MK Dons manager Graham Alexander has been named the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month for August.

Turning around a relegated team when you are new to the club and have to assemble a squad quickly is no easy task, yet Alexander has the attacking Dons on top of League Two with 12 points and 12 goals to match from five games.

Alexander said: “It's testament to the results that the Club produced. It’s always a Club effort. It’s the players who go out there and perform but they are also backed up by a magnificent group of staff and the supporters, who have played their part as well.

“I’d never kid myself that it’s about what I’ve done - it’s a result of a group of people coming together to make sure we started off the season on the right foot. It’s a credit to everyone.”

Player of the Month

Jake Young (Swindon Town)

Swindon Town forward Jake Young has been named the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month for August. 

A dream month for Young who scored seven goals, including four in 24 minutes against Crawley, in just four games. Learning from Charlie Austin alongside him and forming a dynamic understanding with fellow loanee Dan Kemp, he added three assists.

Swindon manager Michael Flynn said: “It’s a fantastic achievement for Jake to win the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month in August, I'm sure he will appreciate all the help of his team-mates during this period and I look forward to seeing him score more goals for us in future!”

Young said: "I’m over the moon to win this award and I’m grateful to the team and staff at the club for the efforts that have allowed me to have such a good personal month.

"It’s been an exciting start to the season for the club and we are all looking forward to taking our good form from August into the next run of games."
