Henderson named Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Month winner

Date published: 20 January 2023


Rochdale striker Ian Henderson has been named the Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Month winner for December  for his backheel goal against Hartlepool on Boxing Day.

Henderson said: “I am delighted to receive this Goal of the Month award. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that voted – your support is very much appreciated.”

Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: “There were some fantastic efforts in League Two during the month of December, with Sam Hoskins’ best Paolo Di Canio impression more than worthy of a mention!

“However, Ian Henderson gets the nod for an equally audacious effort – a back-heeled finish that perfectly exemplified the 37-year-old’s goal-scoring instincts.”

Henderson beat off competition from AFC Wimbledon’s Ethan Chislett, Leyton Orient’s Tom James and Northampton Town’s Sam Hoskins.
