January’s award goes to Paul Cooper
Paul has thrown himself fully into the weight loss and exercise challenges, backed it up with Dry January, and brought real positivity to everything he’s involved in. The lack of alcohol has even kept the infamous alter ego “Ponsa Coops” safely at bay.
He has worked through injuries that once made 90 minutes feel impossible and is now regularly completing full matches. On top of that, he has stepped up to take the captain’s armband, helps the coaches and represents the club exactly how it should be, on and off the pitch.
A brilliant example of what Progress is all about.
Congratulations Coops, don't mind it...
