Hibernians' Clayton Failla is the first winner of the BOV Player of the Month award for season 2008-09.

Failla, who can play at left-back or left-midfield, has been rewarded for his fine performances in Hibs' opening league victories against Msida St Joseph and Qormi.

"This award encourages me to work harder for the rest of the season, not only to improve myself as a player but more importantly, to help my team reach its objectives," Failla was quoted as saying in a BOV statement.

The trophy was presented to Failla by Emily Grech, manager at Bank of Valletta's Paola branch.

Linked to the player of the month award is a financial contribution made by BOV to a charity of the player's choice. The Ursuline Creche have been chosen by Failla to benefit from BOV's monthly donation.
