Weir told the club website: “I’m very proud and happy to be nominated.

“I know I can score goals and it was teed up perfectly. I hit it clean and it went into the net really nicely, I’m happy with it.

“It was a strange feeling because the stadium went silent. Our fans were at the other end so it wasn’t as loud.

“Initially I wasn’t sure it had gone in but then I realised and I was buzzing!”

Also shortlisted are Wycombe Wanderers’ Anis Mehmeti, Barnsley’s Josh Benson and Plymouth Argyle’s Morgan Whittaker.
