Reflecting on a fantastic month, the Cliftonville striker said: "I'm delighted to win both awards, particularly the Player of the Month prize which is a prestigious trophy.

"I'd like to thank the Football Writers' for selecting me and their sponsor Dream Spanish Homes for the support. I'd also like to thank everyone at Cliftonville, as you can't win individual awards without the help of your teammates.

"We've had a good start to the season. Hopefully we can kick on over the Christmas period."

It's the second time Curran has claimed the monthly crown.

This November, runner-up was Larne forward Lee Bonis, while Crusaders midfielder Phil Lowry was third.
