Sunderland youngster Jack Diamond's positive start on loan at Lincoln City has been acknowledged after he was nominated for the League One Player of the Month award for September.
Diamond, who joined the Imps on a season long loan deal back in August, has scored four goals in four appearances - including a hat-trick in a 6-3 win over Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers - as he helped Lincoln win two out of their three league matches last month.
The 22-year-old had featured prominently for Sunderland during pre-season, having returned to the club from another successful loan spell at League Two outfit Harrogate Town.
