Huddersfield Town captain with penchant for the spectacular wins EFL League One award
HUDDERSFIELD Town captain Ryan Ledson has won the Sky Bet League One Goal of the Month award for April.
The former Preston North End midfielder netted a gem of a goal in the eventual encounter against Michael Duff’s Wycombe Wanderers at the Accu Stadium on April 11 – firing home a fine volley into the top of the net..
Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: "A first time volley is always a strong contender for Goal of the Month.
"The ball bounced perfectly to Ryan Ledson on the edge of the box and his strike never stopped rising until it smashed into the roof of the net.
"The perfect technique of striking across the ball should not be underestimated.”
Ledson beat off competition from Bolton Wanderers’ Amario Cozier-Duberry, Luton Town’s Kai Naismith and Plymouth Argyle’s Lorent Tolaj.
The Town skipper has shown a penchant for the spectacular with some other eye-catching goals in 2026.
He netted in stunning style with the only goal of the game in the 1-0 home victory over Luton Town in late January – with a contender for goal of the season.
He successfully caught Hatters Josh Keeley off his line with a first-time shot from just inside his own half.
It represented one of seven goals that Ledson has scored since Boxing Day, with other impressive strikes including a cracker in the 2-2 home draw with champions Lincoln City and a strike in the 1-1 draw with fellow promoted side Cardiff City.
