TYLER Harvey has been named National League South player of the month for October.

The 31-year-old, who is the league’s joint top scorer with 10, has netted 11 times in total this term, with seven of his strikes coming last month.

City’s longest-serving player, having rejoined the Tinners from Bath City in September 2019, found the mark during a 4-0 home FA Cup win over Cirencester Town, before netting in the 2-2 away draw against Farnham Town.

He suffered a head injury in the victory over Braintree Town and missed the FA Cup trip to Sutton United, before returning for the 4-3 win over Hampton & Richmond, in which he scored twice.

Slough Town were then defeated 3-1 at the TCS with Harvey notching once. He then ended October with a brace against Ebbsfleet United, as the previous undefeated league leaders were beaten 3-0 in Cornwall.

On the recognition, Harvey said: “Before I talk about this award, I just want to say that Yassie (Yassine En-Neyah) is very much in mine and everyone’s thoughts. We hope to see you back around the place soon with the lads, as we have had a great month for the team and the club.”

He continued: “It has been nice for me personally and we did not lose a league game, scored some goals and have put ourselves in a good spot in the league.

“I feel like I am in good form personally, but that of the team is always more important. We have performed well against the teams that are considered the good ones in this league, we are in a good rhythm and are confident that we can take anyone on.”
