Sligo Rovers’ Wilson Waweru has been rewarded for his recent excellent form in front of goal having been awarded with the SSE Airtricity/SWI Player of the Month award for July.

Waweru has netted six times in his last six games, including his first senior hat-trick against Cobh Wanderers in the FAI Cup. To date, Waweru has scored eight goals in all competitions this year.

He is the first Rovers player to win the award since Aidan Keena back in 2022.
