April Player of the Month: Matty Fozard

Widnes Vikings hooker Matty Fozard has been crowned Sleeptight Beds Player of the Month for April.

Fozard put in a series of stand-out displays during the month to earn the accolade.

The Wales international also scored once in three appearances, away at Dewsbury Rams in the Betfred Challenge Cup.

He becomes the third different player to receive the Player of the Month award this season, following in the footsteps of Shane Grady (February) and Ryan Ince (March).

Discussing the award, Fozard said: “It’s always nice getting an individual accolade. I know it’s a bit of an old cliche, but I probably wouldn’t have got this award if it wasn’t for the lads around me.

“We’ve been priding ourselves on our yardage recently, and I just look good behind them! I can’t thank them enough really.

“I’m really happy at the moment – this is my hometown club.”
