After stunning displays against Gloucester and Bristol Bears, Bath Rugby's Ollie Lawrence has been voted Gallagher's Player of the Month for November.
England and Bath Rugby centre Ollie Lawrence has been voted as November’s Gallagher Player of the Month, winning the public poll ahead of Arron Reed (Sale Sharks), Tyrone Green (Harlequins) and Andy Christie (Saracens).
Lawrence is also the reigning Gallagher Player of the Season, picking up the top gong at last season’s Premiership Rugby Awards ceremony after a breakthrough campaign which began at Worcester Warriors before making the quick adjustment to life with Bath.
In Round 5, Lawrence scored two stunning tries in a blistering away win over historic rivals Gloucester Rugby and the powerhouse centre followed it up with the Gallagher Player of the Match award as Bath overcame Bristol Bears in a West County thriller at the Rec in Derby Weekend – Round 6.
Lawrence is the second Bath player to be awarded the Gallagher Player of the Month this season with teammate Ben Spencer picking up October’s prize.
