Cox named December Player of the Month

Warriors flanker Matt Cox has picked up December’s Player of the Month award. 

The Academy product was Warriors’ standout performer in their European Challenge Cup clashes with Newport Gwent Dragons last month. 

Cox becomes the first player to win the Player of the Month award twice, after picking up the gong last season. 

He picked up 36 per cent of the votes ahead of winger Dean Hammond (19 per cent) who also impressed in both Europe and the Aviva Premiership during December. 

Val Rapava Ruskin came in third position with 14 per cent of the votes while Dewald Potgieter, Josh Adams, Sam Lewis, Christian Scotland-Williamson and Will Spencer also received nominations.
