Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has been named Football League Player of the Month for November after his loan spell at Blackpool.
The 19-year-old, who has now been recalled to Anfield, scored four goals in five matches for Ian Holloway's Championship side during the month.
Now Shelvey, who was named on the bench for last week's 1-0 victory over QPR, is hoping that he can continue with his fine form and force his way back into the starting eleven for the Merseysiders.
He told the Liverpool Daily Post: "I think that going out on loan has helped me get my confidence back up and I think I am showing that in training back here.
"I have got to try to force my way into the Liverpool team and stay there. I feel this is a good chance for me to kick on.
"Being at Blackpool has helped get me back into Liverpool's plans."
Speaking following his recall, primarily to cover for the injured midfielder Lucas Leiva, Blackpool boss Holloway added: "Jonjo was fantastic [for us].
"I think he has all sorts of talent and will never lose that. Hopefully he will get the chance to use that and shine because he really suited us.
"The boy is good enough to play anywhere and in our system floating in off the right he was dynamic. He has gone a long way to giving us some confidence and making us realize we can win some games.
"I hope his career goes from strength to strength."
