Tranmere Rovers striker Elliott Nevitt is the Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Month winner for January, receiving 47% of the public vote.
Timing a volley as the ball takes an age to drop is an art form which Nevitt has clearly perfected. He waited just long enough to send a perfectly placed shot into the top corner.
Nevitt said: “I’m delighted to win the Goal of the Month competition. It was a goal that I will remember for a while and it came in a great win for the team which is the main thing.
“I remember the ball sitting up nicely, I just put my foot through it and it went into the top corner. I don’t mind how the goals come as long as the team is winning.”
Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: With the Scunthorpe defence failing to clear their lines, Nevitt was on hand to make sure they were thoroughly punished, with an outstanding 20-yard volley into the top corner.
“Nevitt’s story is a brilliant one, with him only turning pro in July last year at age of 24 and now in a team challenging for promotion and scoring wondergoals…he’ll hope to play a big part in leading Tranmere into League One next season.”
Nevitt beat off competition from Walsall’s Conor Wilkinson and Hartlepool United’s Nicky Featherstone.
