Northampton Town midfielder John-Joe O'Toole has been nominated for the League One player of the month award for January.

The 29-year-old scored in four successive games in the month as the Cobblers moved out of the relegation zone.

O'Toole has been a key player for Northampton this season, with his team winning seven of the 13 matches he's featured in.

O'Toole has been shortlisted alongside Blackburn Rovers striker Danny Graham, Gillingham forward Tom Eaves and Rotherham United's Semi Ajayi.

The winner will be announced on Friday.

Meanwhile, striker Barry Corr has signed a contract with Cambridge United until the end of the season after proving his fitness.
