Joe Willock has netted a player of the month award for November after his two goals against Southampton and Chelsea.
His strikes in the top-flight, combined with two excellent displays, allowed him to sign off before the World Cup break on a high. And consequently he has been awarded Fun88's player of the month award after a vote from supporters.
Willock said: "I'm hugely grateful for the recognition from our fans, so to be voted as the Player of the Month is something that I really appreciate and it means a lot to me," said Willock.

"It's always great to score goals and get on the scoresheet but for me the goal against Chelsea was very special. It got us the three points against a strong side. It was a big game for us before the World Cup break and to go into this period on the back of good results."
Willock is now keen to get back to winning ways after the break. Newcastle are back to work and head to Saudi Arabia next week for warm weather training.
He said: "Getting the win at home at Chelsea was huge - it keeps the spirits high amongst the team, the fans and the city and November was a really good month for us as a team.
"You have the break now with a few games in this period and we are already looking forward to getting back to it and getting back onto the pitch and hopefully carrying on where we left off."
