Harrogate Town AFC manager, Simon Weaver, and winger, Abraham Odoh, have both been nominated for Sky Bet League Two awards.
Weaver, who has been the club’s manager since 2009, has been shortlisted for the manager of the month award after a successful run that has taken the team into the promotion reckoning.
The English Football League said Weaver has gained momentum in the second half of last season and “continues to gather pace in North Yorkshire”, adding:
“The momentum gained in the second half of last season continues to gather pace in North Yorkshire.
“Weaver has made light of recent injuries to guide his side calmly into the promotion race with 10 points from four unbeaten matches.”
Lee Bell of Crewe Alexandra, Graham Coughlan of Newport County and Karl Robinson of Salford City are all up for the manager of the month award.

Abraham Odoh, 23, who joined the club last summer following a spell at Rochdale, is one of four players up for the Player of the Month award.
The EFL said although he is a winger Mr Odoh “pops up all across the Harrogate front line” and “takes on defenders at will”. It added:
“Witness his stunning solo goal against Doncaster and a fine assist at Forest Green. Two goals and two assists in four games.”
Wrexham’s Steven Fletcher, Notts County’s Jodi Jones and Danilo Orsi of Crawley Town are also among those nominated for the award.
Harrogate Town are currently eighth in the league.
The team will play Colchester United at home on Saturday.
