Plymouth Argyle striker Reuben Reid has been named the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month for October in Sky Bet League Two.

Reid scored four goals in just three matches during October to help Plymouth race five points clear in League Two.

The 27-year-old missed his side's 2-0 win over Morecambe last weekend and despite victory Argyle boss Derek Adams will be desperate for the striker, who has scored six goals so far this season, to return to action.

The former West Ham Brom player was joined by Oxford United's Liam Sercombe and Bristol Rovers' Matt Taylor on the three-man shortlist.

This was reduced from an initial 12-man shortlist including Hiram Boateng (Plymouth Argyle), Jay Simpson (Leyton Orient), Jermaine Easter (Bristol Rovers), Malvind Benning (Mansfield Town), Marc Richards (Northampton Town), Matthew Tubbs (Portsmouth), Roarie Deacon (Crawley Town), Shaun Miller (Morecambe), Tom Barkhuizen (Morecambe).
