Troy Deeney’s fine form for the Hornets in March has seen the Watford captain nominated for the Championship player of the month award.

Deeney netted five goals in as many games last month to help maintain the Golden Boys’ bid to secure automatic promotion from the Championship. 

Deeney faces competition for the award with Nottingham Forest’s Michail Antonio, Bournemouth’s Steve Cook and Middlesbrough striker Patrick Bamford also nominated.

The winner of the honour will be announced tomorrow.
