Emmanuel Latte Lath has been named the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month for April.

The award comes after a red-hot month for Boro's number nine, who rifled home a staggering seven goals across six league matches.

Netting braces against Leeds United and Swansea City, Manu also found the net on the road at Hull City, Ipswich Town and Cardiff City.

The forward fended off competition from Fabio Carvalho (Hull City), Che Adams (Southampton) and Haydon Roberts (Bristol City) to claim the gong.

He said: "It has been a great month for me and the team, I am really enjoying my football and of course scoring goals. We’re all looking forward to what’s ahead.

“Thank you to all the amazing Boro fans, who have supported us home and away all season.”
