TONY GREDECKI is BARLA's Man of the Month.

The 18-year-old Leigh East stand-off earned the December award in the National Youth League Premier Division for some inspirational performances.

Top try scorer for his club, he notched seven tries in three superb games, including a five-try haul against Oulton.

A player with excellent vision, Tony has breached defences all season with superb handling skills and the ability to exploit available gaps.

Tony is one of two East players in the Team of the Month, being joined by full-back Mark Kay.

And Miners winger Mark Burrows completes a trio of Leigh players in the end-of-year team.
