Murray's mint and Clegg incredible as North award winners are crowned

We are delighted to announce the latest award winners from the Enterprise National League North.

April’s Manager and Player of the Month can be confirmed after our panel had some extra thinking time following a frantic final few weeks.

It’s been a very busy time for Adam Murray, who prepped Kidderminster for their ultimately fruitful play-off assault perfectly last month, ending it with promotion at the start of May before taking over at newcomers Barrow days later.

The rollercoaster period was made possible thanks to Harriers’ relentless end of season form, which saw the club become untouchable when it came to crunch time.

They won six out of six last month to set themselves up perfectly for what was ahead, kicking things off with 2-1 wins over Hereford and AFC Telford United.

Success over King’s Lynn Town, Radcliffe and Leamington wasn’t far behind before signing off in style as they fired a warning shot at South Shields.

They went on to beat them in the Promotion Final with the firm foundations in place from the weeks before.

Murray, turning into a bit of a promotion specialist after taking AFC Fylde up in 2023, saw off competition from Hereford’s Aaron Downes, John McGrath of Buxton and Chester stand-in Connell Rawlinson to secure the accolade.

The season didn’t quite finish the way Radcliffe dreamed it would after sitting in the top seven for a good chunk of the campaign.

But in Rio Clegg, the club have one of the division’s entertainers and he capped a year to remember with an incredible April.

His outstanding contributions in September landed him one of our months awards - and further recognition has followed.

Clegg finished off a fine season by notching six goals in five games for Radcliffe as the Boro confirmed their best-ever league finish.

The 24-year-old 26-goal talent showed how crucial he is to the club in 2025/26, and fans will hope for more of the same after a summer recharge.

He defeated George Munday (Hereford) Tom Davies (Chester) and Johnny Johnston (Buxton) to land the final Player of the Month award.

Congratulations to both our fantastic winners!
