Jonny May has pipped his former Gloucester team-mate Henry Trinder to a prestigious award.

The England flyer, who moved to Leicester in the summer, has been named Aviva Premiership Rugby Player of the Month for October.

May has been in sensational form for the Tigers this season, scoring seven tries in seven Premiership matches and World Cup winner Will Greenwood described him as an “absolute poacher with jet heeled shoes”.

“Jonny has looked frighteningly fast and hungry for work with a real edge to his carries,” said Greenwood.

“He has added some weight to his wiry frame but not lost any speed – a dangerous combination.”

May was judged by a panel of experts, and was involved in a three-way battle for the latest title, beating Trinder and Exeters back-rower Don Armand to the title.

May wins a trophy and a £250 donation to the charity of his choice.
