Joining the talented teenager in the four-player shortlist is Eastleigh’s Aaron Blair, Carlisle United’s Morgan Feeney and Boreham Wood’s Zak Brunt.
Pushing into a more advanced role, October saw the 18-year-old truly flourish as his attacking output became a consistent trend.
Starting the month with 90 minutes under his belt in the 2-1 away victory over Gateshead, injuries and a lack of availability in forward areas meant Adjetey-Brew was deployed on the flank for the match against Solihull Moors on October 10.
This was a decision that paid dividends, as the recognised defender scored twice in the eventual 5-0 win at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium, scoring the Reds’ first and fourth goals in the rout.
His first was a move any experienced striker would be proud of, turning adroitly in the box before firing home with his weaker right foot before using his instincts in the second half to convert on the rebound to make it four.
Cory Adjetey-Brew (3 Worthing FC) to make it 4-0 during the match between Worthing FC and Solihull Moors in the Enterprise National League at Sussex Transport Community StadiumProving that wasn’t just a fluke, Adjetey-Brew scored the winner a fortnight later in the 2-1 away victory over Kidderminster Harriers, with a clinical finish into the top corner after latching onto a perfect Dominic Johnson-Fisher pass.
Our number three wasn’t satisfied there and made it four goals in just three league games as once again he was in the right place at the right time to net in the thrilling 3-3 draw with Southend United at Woodside Road.
That took Cory’s tally to five for the season including an impressive three assists.
A carefully selected panel will discuss before making a decision, with the winner announced within the next week.
Congratulations, Cory!
