Jonjo Shelvey has been named the November Young Player of the Month for the npower Football League after his scintillating displays on loan at Blackpool.

Liverpool’s No.33 made a big impression at Bloomfield Road and hit six goals in 10 appearances for Ian Holloway’s side.

Highlight of his loan spell was a hat-trick against Leeds United during a 5-0 win.

He returned to Liverpool following an injury to Lucas Leiva and received a great ovation when he made his Reds comeback as a substitute during last Saturday’s 1-0 win over QPR at Anfield.

Shelvey has also represented England at U16, U17, U19 and U21 levels.

After receiving the award, Shelvey said: ”When I was told I was Young Player of the Month I got straight on the phone to my mum, dad and girlfriend.  It is a great honour for me and my family, the trophy will be staying with me in Liverpool on my mantelpiece.

“When you’re not playing at Liverpool it gets you down, you sometimes need to go away and play games. I think going out on loan has helped me get my confidence back up. I think I’m showing that in training back here.

“Blackpool is a great club to play for and the attacking way they played suited me down to the ground. It was easy in that respect. The gaffer Ian Holloway said just play your normal game – he put his trust in me.”

Holloway added: “He was fantastic – he had a lot of frustration when he first came, I think he is an entertainer, I think he has all sorts of talent and will never lose that.

“Hopefully he will get the chance to use that and shine because he really suited us. The boy is good enough to play anywhere and in our system floating in off the right he was dynamic.”
