Mark Travers has won the Michael Matthews Player of the Month award for February. 

He's played in all three Championship fixtures, where the Cherries have picked up a maximum of nine points, with the shot-stopper winning Man of the Match in every game. 

His standout moments include a huge save against Birmingham, with the side 2-1 up but down to ten men, preserving the lead and helping his team to a crucial victory. 

Away at Blackpool, the Ireland international then made a point-blank save before the Cherries fought back from a goal down to win the game, his contribution being the club's Moment of the Match.

A week later and a last-minute stop from Travers ensured his side were 2-1 winners over Stoke City, having fought back again to lead at the death. As a result, he received big praise from head coach, Scott Parker, in his post-match press conference. 

The 'keeper finished with 78% of the vote and beat off competition from Todd Cantwell (13.7%), Jamal Lowe (5.2%) and Lewis Cook (3.2%). 

Travers picked up his award, provided by Michael Matthews, at Vitality Stadium this week.
