READING FC youngster Jordan Holsgrove is in the running for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month for March.

The 17-year-old Royals Academy midfielder is the youngest of the three nominees shortlisted for the award.

Swansea City striker Oliver McBurnie, 20, and Stoke City's Julien Ngoy, 19, are the other nominations for the month.

Holsgrove put in a string of impressive performances for Royals Under 23s in Division One of PL2.

Martin Kuhl's side did lose to Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool during March, but Holsgrove stood out with some eye-catching attacking play.

The Scotland youth international will find out if he has won the award in a fortnight's time once the Premier League Football Development Department have made their decision.
