PFA Fans' Player of the Month - December '09 winners:
Premier League: Didier Drogba - Chelsea
Championship: Billy Sharp - Doncaster
League One: Jermaine Beckford - Leeds United
League Two: Michael Symes - Accrington Stanley
PFA
Accrington Stanley striker Michael Symes has cause for a double celebration with the New Year only a few days old.
For much of his career, the Liverpool-born player has been something of a loan ranger – but seems to have now found his niche with Stanley.
Not only has he been named PFA Fans’ Player of the Month for December, he’s also earned himself the offer of a new contract into the bargain.
Stanley have offered Symes and fellow goalscorer Robert Grant new deals as they send out a statement to the rest of League Two.
Symes scored three times in December as a run of four consecutive league wins sent the club up the table, within sight of the play-offs.
The strike duo have scored 25 goals between them in all competitions this season and have been linked with moves to Championship sides Derby and QPR respectively.
Symes could leave for nothing in June, although the terms of the Bosman ruling mean 19-year-old Grant would command a tribunal fee because he is under the age of 24.
Chief Executive Rob Heys told Press Association Sport: "Both Michael and Bobby have been fantastic for us this season. We are very keen for them to stay at the Crown Ground and build on what they have achieved so far for us - they are both in our long-term plans.
"We are in the best financial position we have been in for a long time and we do not need to be seen as a selling club anymore. We hope both deals can be concluded over the next few days."
