Harrogate Town's impressive start to life in the English Football League has been recognised with manager Simon Weaver and striker Aaron Martin nominated for League Two manager and player of the month awards.

Town picked up five points from their first three games, beating Southend on the opening day 4-0 and drawing against early pacesetters Walsall and Port Vale.

They lost at the weekend 1-2 to Bolton Wanderers, which may dampen Weaver's chances of winning the managerial award but the nomination shows that Town's bright start to the season has not gone unnoticed.

The other managers nominated are John Askey (Port Vale), Mark Bonner (Cambridge United) and Mike Flynn (Newport County).

Striker Aaron Martin, who has scored twice so far this season, is a contender for player of the month.

Martin was signed from Guiseley just before lockdown in March and made his debut for the club in the National League playoff semi-final against Boreham Wood in July.

Also nominated are Ian Henderson (Salford), Paul Mullin (Cambridge United) and Adam Phillips (Morecambe)

The winners will be announced on Friday morning.

Town's next league fixture is a hotly anticipated local derby at Bradford City on Monday evening. The game will be shown live on Sky Sports.
