Morecambe FC confirmed the four-man shortlist for their October Player of the Month award over the weekend, with Arsenal loanee Maldini Kacurri receiving a nomination.

Morecambe praised Kacurri as a “commanding presence at the back”, adding that the defender has “continued to impress with his composure, defensive awareness and maturity beyond his years”.

The statement added that Kacurri’s “consistency in the heart of defence [has] been key in several strong team performances”.

Yet Kacurri isn’t the only Hale End academy graduate to be involved in the vote, with Miguel Azeez also nominated. The duo are joined by Jake Cain and Joe Nuttall to complete the shortlist.

Kacurri played seven times for Morecambe in October, five times in the National League and twice in FA Cup qualifiers.

The 20-year-old’s best performance was against Boston United, with Morecambe keeping a clean sheet at one end and Kacurri assisting one of the goals at the other.
