Page 3 of 3 Former Ponty boy Morgan Stoddart has been named as Principality Player of the Month for December.
The former Pontypridd back has scored eight tries in eight games for the Principality Premiership side since returning from a broken leg at the end of September. He was chosen by a WRU High Performance panel for the award and follows on from fellow Premiership high-flyers Aled Bevan (Neath), Tom James (Cardiff) and John Bowd (Ebbw Vale) to receive the accolade so far this season. Stoddart will receive £100 in a Principality savings account from the Principality Building Society. Llanelli coach Kevin George said, "Morgan thoroughly deserves his call-up to play for the Scarlets, so much so that I would be delighted if we didn't see him again in our squad this season! "I'm sure Morgan will continue to have a role with us this season because of the rotation system in place within the region, but there is no doubt that with his robust, running rugby, and once he has benefited from being in the professional environment, the Scarlets coaches will see the advantage of having him in their squad." Rhian Davis, manager of the Llanelli branch of Principality Building Society said, "Congratulations to Morgan on winning this award and to the team for their fantastic run of results towards the end of last year. I wish them well for the rest of the season. "Principality Building Society prides itself on being at the heart of the local community, much in the same way as rugby clubs, up and down the country. That's why the partnership between Principality Building Society and the Rugby Premiership is so successful and we're delighted to be able to support our local heroes in this way."
