Just before Avro's game at the weekend against Ashton Athletic in the NWCFL Premier Division, goalkeeper Jordan Latham was presented with the award for Reusch NWCFL Premier Division Goalkeeper of December by NWCFL's Stewart Taylor.
Here is why he was nominated:
Games Played: 5
Man of the Match: 0
Clean Sheets: 2
Conceded: 4
Reason for Nomination: "Our Goalkeeper of the Month as usual, goes to Jordan Lathan. At Irlam on Boxing Day Jordan completed the milestone of 75 appearances for Avros in NWCFL, a fantastic achievement for such a young player – Jordan is still only 20. As 1st Division North Keeper of the Year for 2018/19 Jordan has stepped up in the Premier Division where the class of opposition is consistently higher and he has been faced with some formidable strikers. In December Jordan contributed to our very good run of 3 wins with 2 clean sheets.
The first away at Hanley Town on a freezing December midweek night, and the second clean sheet coming at Irlam on Boxing Day when the opposition included Jordan Buckley who has been playing for FC United in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, and we were reduced to 10 men for the last 25 minutes of the game. Jordan conceded only 4 goals in 450 minutes of football in December, which is a superb achievement at our level. Jordan has shown himself to still be developing as a goalkeeper and we have definitely seen him finding his feet now at the higher level of the Premier Division and producing performances of a consistently high standard."
