Stephen O'Donnell swooped the Motherwell player of the month for award for August. The full-back picked up this accolade for the first time back in March and now collects his second award. Taking the captain's armband in our season opener against Ross County, O'Donnell played every minute during the month of August, which included extra-time being played against Kilmarnock. The 32-year-old bagged his second goal of the season against Hearts, with a bullet header at the back post from Lennon Miller's free kick. His work rate and endeavour didn't go unnoticed by the Motherwell support, with O'Donnell continually going the extra yard in every match. "I really appreciate the support from everyone," O'Donnell said. "Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It's so important we use this start to build and push the club on. "We have some massive matches in September and we're going to need everyone behind us to get through them. There is a really good feeling amongst everything associated with the club and we, as players, will do our best to maintain that."
