Morsy beats Balogun to Wigan Athletic Player of the Month award

Sam Morsy has been announced as the winner of Wigan Athletic Player of the Month award for February, beating Nigeria defender Leon Balogun.

The 28-year-old midfielder was in fine form last month, scoring twice to help his side move four places above the relegation zone.

Morsy found the back of the net against Middlesbrough at DW Stadium before netting the match-winner in last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion.
