Ex-Arsenal midfielder Lansbury scoops Championship prize with Nottingham Forest

Henri Lansbury has won the SkyBet Championship Player of the Month prize following a stellar February.

: The Nottingham Forest midfielder, 24, starred for his club in all six league fixtures as they recorded five wins and a draw during the second month of 2015.

Former Arsenal youngster Lansbury scored in five consecutive matches as Forest catapulted into the top half of the table under his captaincy.

Forest boss Dougie Freedman said: "He deserves it. The reason he got this is because he brought into the team philosophy, he got behind the team and made sure he played for the team.

"That's why I made him the captain and it was an easy decision because he has been leading by example. He's tactically very aware and he understands the game."
