“I’m honored to receive the Player of the Month award, but individual honors don’t come without team success,” Wilson said. “I’m very thankful for the coaching staff and my teammates who push me every day to get better and put me in spots to succeed. I’m looking forward to getting back to work and continuing to improve to help win some trophies come the end of the year.”
“We are always proud any time our players receive recognition for the work that they put in every day,” Louisville head coach Danny Cruz said. “Jansen achieving this recognition is a testament to his work as well as the work of the team around him. I am looking forward to watching him continue to put in performances that put us in the best position possible to win games while he finishes the season strong.”
Wilson earned 31% of a weighted poll that included the USL Championship Technical Committee, a national panel of independent media representing every USL market and an online fan vote held at USLChampionship.com. El Paso Locomotive FC midfielder Gabriel Torres finished second on 29% with two goals and two assists, while Sacramento Republic FC midfielder Rodrigo López finished third on 24% with two goals and three assists.
