The striker has picked up another award this week

The accolades continue to roll in for striker Aaron Collins after he was named League One Player of the Month for October.

It has been quite a week for the hitman. After scoring in the 2-1 win over Swindon Town to help MK Dons progress into the second round of the FA Cup, Collins was called up to the Wales squad to replace Kieffer Moore.

The 29-year-old also was crowned the EFL’s Goal Hero of the Month for his four-goal glut against Doncaster Rovers, and he was also named PFA League One Fans’ Player of the Month.

His latest win saw him hold off Bradford City keeper Jon McCracken, Huddersfield winger Derensili Sanches Fernandes and Stockport County striker Kyle Wootton.

It was not to be a double for Dons though as head coach Paul Warne missed out on the Manager of the Month prize to Huddersfield’s Martin Drury.

While Collins’ strong week of awards impressed Warne, the Dons boss joked there will be at least one gong he will not pick up - the club’s Goal of the Month competition (watch the goals here) which is likely to be snared by skipper Alex Gilbey for his wonder-strike against Luton Town.

“I saw the video of our Goal of the Month competition, and there was Gilbs and the rest were Collins, but he isn’t going to win it!” laughed Warne. “Gilbs is going to win it, it’s genius! He hasn’t got the Goal of the Month award and he’s scored some absolute rockets, but he’s not even close to being number one!”
