Team success is key for Player of the Month Leroy Millar

Leroy Millar says Larne having a good month was the most important thing after he was named the Dream Spanish Homes Player of the Month for February.

Millar had a sublime month weighing in with three goals as the Invermen defeated Glenavon, Dungannon Swifts, Cliftonville, Ballymena United and Carrick Rangers in the league, as well as knocking Linfield out of the Irish Cup.

"I'm delighted to win this award," said the midfielder.

"On a personal level I think I've had a decent enough month, but more importantly the team has had a good month.

"We've won all our games, we're still in the Irish Cup and we're six points clear at the top of the league - you can't ask for better than that.

"But it's still early days yet. We need to dig in and show a strong mentality if we're to win silverware.

"Any of the top six can still win the league. It shows just how good the product here is."

Meanwhile, Harland and Wolff Welders goalkeeper Michael Argyrides has been named Championship Player of the Month for February by the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association.

The Canadian joined the Welders on loan from Glentoran in January, making an immediate impact.

In February he conceded just one goal, keeping clean sheets against Glenavon, Ards, Annagh United and Newington.

He said: "I was gutted when I conceded against Knockbreda (in a 7-1 victory) because I wanted to finish the month without letting in a goal.

"But winning this award makes up for it. I'm just pleased I've been able to help the team improve. We're keeping clean sheets and winning games. It's a great thing to be part of."
