Phoenix Patterson’s blistering form with First Division Waterford FC has earned him the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers Ireland Player of the Month for September.

The forward – a former teammate of Troy Parrott in Tottenham Hotspur’s youth team – was voted the standout player across both the Premier and First divisions last month after notching three goals and an assist to help the Blues into the semi-finals of the FAI Cup and the First Division's promotion playoffs.
