THREE Yorkshire clubs have seen players shortlisted in the EFL's goal of the month nominations for August.

In-form Hull City midfielder Ozan Tufan, who has started the season in scintillating fashion, has been shortlisted for his majestic strike en route to his stunning hat-trick against White Rose rivals Sheffield Wednesday on August 12.

The classy Turk was also nominated for the division's player of the month gong for August alongside Ipswich Town enforcer Sam Morsy, Norwich City midfielder Gabriel Sara and Stoke winger Andre Vidigal.

The award went to Sara.

For the goal of the month accolade, Tufan is competing against Cardiff City's Aaron Ramsey, who scored an unstoppable strike against Leicester City on August 19 and Birmingham City's Jay Stansfield, who scored a thunderbolt on his Blues debut versus Plymouth Argyle on August 26.

The day after, one-time Barnsley winger Ryan Hedges netted a fine strike for Blackburn Rovers at Watford, with his individual effort also making the shortlist.

Meanwhile, Doncaster Rovers loanee Tom Nixon and Harrogate Town stalwart George Thomson are among four contenders for the League Two goal of the month award for August.

On his debut after signing on loan from Hull, Nixon scored a screamer against Mansfield Town on August 15.
