Newcastle Falcons full-back Ben Redshaw has been named the RPA’s Male 15 Under 23 MVP of the Month for December.

The accolade, part of a campaign now in its fourth year, celebrates standout young talent in the Gallagher Premiership and Premiership Women’s Rugby. Each month, the RPA nominates four players aged 23 or under from each competition who have excelled for club and country.

Fans then vote for their MVP of the Month, culminating in a season-end Team of the Season vote.

Redshaw’s December recognition follows a strong return from injury, during which he featured in three matches for the club.

The full list of December’s MVP male nominees can be found below:

• Immanuel Feyi-Waboso – Exeter Chiefs
• Joe Owen – Bristol Bears
• Ben Redshaw – Newcastle Falcons
• Freddie Thomas – Gloucester Rugby
