WARRIORS defender Brendan Galloway has been nominated for the PFA League One Player of the Month just a week after his Plymouth Argyle boss Tom Cleverley described Brendan Galloway as an absolute ‘WARRIOR’.
Galloway has been in good form for the Pilgrims and appears to have carried his fine form for the Warriors, at the 2025 AFCON finals, to his English club.
Last week, he scored his third goal in four games for the Pilgrims.
His goal in first-half stoppage time was the crucial moment as Argyle beat Luton Town 1-0 in a league match.
Bottom of the table in November, the Pilgrims have won the bulk of their matches in the past few weeks.
Brendan’s an absolute warrior,” Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon.
“He’s a fantastic servant for this club, fantastic role model for our younger players, hugely respected by everyone.
“Goals are not his first priority – the clean sheet will probably please Brendan more – but we’re a dangerous set-piece team at the minute.
“It’s the details, the aggression, the timing, it’s not just luck, [it’s] well worked on with [coach] Matt Bevans and the guys – but Brendan seems to be getting on the end of a lot of them.”
Galloway is having one of his most consistent seasons since moving to Home Park in the summer of 2021.
His good run of form has also come at a time when he has avoided the kind of injuries which were affecting his progress.
“I think sometimes it’s luck, sometimes you start to learn your body more,” Cleverley said of the defender’s change in fitness fortunes.
“He understands what he does and doesn’t need, and he looks after himself in the gym and with the physios.
“We’ve not had to manage him too much, he’s not someone who could play three games in six days over Christmas, but he’s well into the 20s in appearances this year.
“He’s performed at a really high level and I’m super pleased with him.” – Sports Reporter/MSN
