Matt Crooks is proving one of the surprise stars of the Championship season but what he is achieving off the pitch is just as impressive as anything he can do on it.
The Rotherham midfielder has just been named the second tier’s player of the month thanks to an outstanding campaign for Paul Warne’s team. Operating recently as a No 10 - where he has rarely played in his career - Crooks has scored seven times this season, including four in his last six, and is a key man in the Millers’ attempt to preserve their second tier status.
