Ebbsfleet striker Michael Cheek has been named the National League player-of-the-month for December.

Cheek's scored eight goals in 10 games since being brought back into the fold by new Fleet boss Garry Hill.

He netted at the start and end of December, in the 2-0 win at Aldershot and again when Eastleigh were despatched 3-0.

Ebbsfleet paid an undisclosed fee to sign Cheek from Dagenham & Redbridge just days before the start of the season.

He was a peripheral figure under previous manager Daryl McMahon but now looks back to his best.

Cheek has linked up well with both Danny Kedwell and Cody McDonald, scoring four goals in his last three games.

All three forwards have been in great form so Hill faces a big call when it comes to picking his team for Saturday's big match against leaders Leyton Orient.
