Miguel the man throughout April

Last updated : 04 May 2012 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday defender Miguel Llera’s outstanding displays during the past month have been recognised by the football league who have rewarded him with their League One player of the month for April award.

Wednesday won 4 and drew 1 of their 5 matches during the month to move into 2nd place and Llera played a pivotal role in all of these matches.

The Spanish centre-back helped towards keeping clean sheets in 2 of those games and also scored crucial goals against Huddersfield, Colchester, Brentford and Oldham in which he produced a man-of-the-match performance.

Llera, who initially joined the Owls on loan from Blackpool earlier in the season, has signed a permanent contract at Hillsborough that runs until the summer of next year.
