Swindon Town striker Aaron Drinan was named on Friday 11 September 2026 as one of four players shortlisted for the Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Month award for August, Swindon24 reported.
Which goal?
It came in Swindon's 2-1 home win over Cheltenham Town at the Nigel Eady County Ground on Friday 22 August 2026. In the 17th minute Anthony Munda won the ball, and Drinan ran at a retreating defence before hitting a rising right-foot shot from outside the penalty area into the top corner. Ollie Clarke added a second about ten minutes into the second half, and Ryan Broom scored late on for Cheltenham. Swindon24 said it was Swindon's first home league win over Cheltenham since 2012.
Who else was shortlisted?
- Ched Evans (Fleetwood Town), for a volley from around 35 yards against Chesterfield
- Keenan Appiah-Forson (Oldham Athletic), against Colchester United
- Tom James (Bristol Rovers), for a free-kick against Crawley Town
Supporters could vote on the EFL website from 10am on 11 September until 5pm on Monday 14 September, with the result due on Friday 18 September.
Drinan's form
Drinan, 28, was EFL League Two Player of the Season for 2025/26 after scoring 22 league goals. Swindon24 sports reporter Ian Howard said: "Aaron Drinan has shown himself to be the spearhead of Swindon's attack."
