Kieran Alley of Sandbach United has been presented with his Player of the Month award for December 2022.
League Management Committee Member Peter Stokes visited Kieran at a recent home game to present him with his award.
The striker has only recently joined Sandbach United, but picked up the first Sandbach United Player award since February 2022 when Paul Taylor won it.
This is what was said about him when the announcement was made.
FIRST DIVISION SOUTH - KIERAN ALLEY (SANDBACH UNITED)
Kieran Alley only joined Sandbach in November and has made an instant impact for the team which can be seen from the change in results and the recent good run of form.
Kieran has played in 4 games in December, starting in 3 games and being a substitute in the other. He has amassed 3 goals and 3 assists in this short spell and obtained a MOM nomination. Sandbach have won 3 of the 4 games losing out only to top of the table Stockport Town a game in which Kieran was forced to play out of position as a left back effectively preventing him from adopting his usual dynamic fast paced attacking football.
He has a ferocious shot on him and you would fancy him to score when one on one but it his conversion ration of shots to goals and his ability to deliver dangerous crosses from deep down the flanks that makes him stand out. He is a very clever player with quick feet and seemingly able to play devilishly well with both feet at times. Of course he has turned provider on 3 occasions in the month as well and save for some poor finishing from others should really have seen his tally even higher this month.
Only turning 22 this month, its safe to say he is an emerging talent that has shone since his move to Sandbach from Cheadle Heath Nomads. He has picked up no bookings in the month and sets a great example to the other players for his fine attitude and respectful style of play.
Well done Kieran!
