Everton midfielder Kieran Dowell has been nominated for April’s Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.
The 19-year-old has been a regular for David Unsworth’s triumphant Under-23s side, who were last week crowned inaugural PL2 champions.
Dowell is one of five players on the shortlist for the prize, alongside Rory Hale (Aston Villa), Josh Sims (Southampton), Mason Mount (Chelsea) and Donovan Wilson (Wolves).
The winner will be selected by a panel of the Premier League Football Development department and their decision will be announced in due course.
If successful, Dowell would become the second Everton player to win the monthly award this season after fellow midfielder Liam Walsh secured the prize in February.
