“Sammy Ameobi has been voted Bolton Wanderers' KIA Player of the Month for October 2017 by the club's supporters,” read a statement on the club's website.

“Having made his return from injury in late-September, the Whites forward scored three times to return with a bang as Bolton went unbeaten throughout October.

“Marking his second home debut for the club with a goal in the Trotters' 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, Ameobi was also on the scoresheet in away draws with Fulham and Sunderland”

The left-footed winger was on parade in the Whites’ 0-0 draw against Preston North End on Friday and will hope to help return them to winning ways when Reading come visiting in Tuesday’s Championship game.
