Hartlepool United defender Scott Harrison and Burton Albion goalkeeper Jon McLaughlan are among the nominees for League Two's Player of the Month award for March.

The Pools moved off the bottom two of the table, in part due to Harrison's performances, which included a winning volley in his side's 2-1 victory over Cambridge United.

The defender suffered concussion against Mansfield Town, but he swiftly returned for the next game to help push Hartlepool to one point above the drop.

McLaughlan's penalty saves in games against Southend United and Tranmere Rovers have put the goalkeeper in contention for the monthly award, and with just three goals shipped past him in March, the shot-stopper has contributed to Burton's lead at the top of the table.

Dagenham & Redbridge midfielder Billy Bingham has also been nominated after impressing with a 25-yard strike in his side's 3-2 win over Tranmere and a 30-yard free kick in a 2-0 triumph over Hartlepool in the previous game.

Bobby Grant completes the shortlist after the Shrewsbury Town midfielder scored five goals in March after spending a spell out of the team.

The winner will be announced on Friday, April 10.
