OMARI SNAPS UP TOP PRIZE

IT SAYS a lot about the impact of Omari Hutchinson that he’s scooped the coveted Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award having only started two games in February!

The 20-year-old winger picked up assists in the two games he began – and weighed in with three goals off the bench.

Remarkably, all three came in injury time at Portman Road. The first earned a point in a 2-2 draw against West Brom, the second gave the Tractor Boys a dramatic 4-3 success against Rotherham and the third wrapped up a 3-1 victory against Birmingham.

“I’m very happy, this is my first award in men’s football so I’m grateful,” said the Chelsea loanee, right. “There’s a lot of players that could have won it, a lot of top talent but I was happy to be chosen. Everyone has helped me on the journey. This is my first season in men’s football, so I didn’t know what to expect. I think this season so far has been successful and to be playing in front of the Ipswich fans week in, week out is a dream come true.”
