On the announcement of the award Darrell said, “It’s a privilege to accept this award again on behalf of everyone connected with the club.”

“I appreciate that we are in a results based business and the players here deserve great credit for the way they have played all season, as do the backroom staff, the office staff, and all of our supporters because we are all working so hard to achieve positive results on matchdays.”

The official awards panel said, “'Despite leaders Barnet keeping a grip at the top of the table, the challenge has been well and truly taken up by Darrell Clarke at Bristol Rovers with the Gas recording 11 points in the Vanarama Conference with 3 wins and 2 draws during December.
