PFA A-League Player of the Month Nominees Announced

Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) is pleased to announce the November nominees for the PFA A-League Player of the Month.

Having netted eight goals between them, the nominees, as chosen by the PFA Awards Committee, are:

>> Mitch Nichols, Western Sydney Wanderers;

>> Besart Berisha, Melbourne Victory; and

>> Aaron Mooy, Melbourne City.

Nichols has enjoyed a stellar start to his time at the Wanderers with the midfielder scoring three goals during November and playing a starring role in the club’s surge to the top of the table.

Equaling Nichols’ tally of three goals, Berisha has continued to torment A-League defenders, with the forward helping the club to record three wins out of three matches for November.

Having become instrumental for the Socceroos, Mooy has been in outstanding form for his club with the midfielder scoring twice and lighting up the competition with his passing range and vision.

PFA President Matt McKay said the nominees further highlighted the quality of players currently playing in the A-League.

“During November some of the football played across the league was of the highest possible standard and these three players were at the heart of this,” said McKay.

“Besart continues to show he is a finisher of the highest caliber and both Mitch and Aaron have been a joy to watch and highlight the quality that we have playing in the A-League.

“The players face a tough task in choosing a winner, with all three worthy recipients.”
