He said: "This means a lot for me because the votes came from our fans and I'm very happy and grateful to them.

"I think they value my work and my passion for playing and I want to try to keep helping the team. I was happy [with my form] but I would have been even happier if we had won against Swansea away.

"We won four games last month and now we have to continue that - we are in the top four and we want to be there until the end of the season."
