RYAN BOWMAN has the early lead in the race to be The Press Player of the Month for November.

The former Hereford striker’s brace in the 2-2 draw at Cheltenham were his first goals for York City and earned him three points as our star man at Whaddon Road.

Josh Carson grabbed two as our second highest rated player and they sent him clear again at the top of The Press Player of the Year standings.

Skipper Dan Parslow picked up the remaining point on offer against the Robins.

The statistics do not include last night’s game at Bristol Rovers.
