His 29 goals(So far),Player of the month awards and this PFA honour with, hopefully, promotion in his first season to the Championship has made this a truly memorable season for Jason where he has exploded on the English scene and made a tremendous impact with his prolific goalscoring and robust attacking style,” Berry told TTFF Media on Saturday. “He really is in great form which is not only great for Swansea City FC but also for T&T with their forthcoming World Cup campaign around the corner.” Scotland himself was pleased with the accolades but is remaining focus on getting Swansea into the Championship Division. “I’ve worked hard all season and it’s good to get the goals and the awards but the main focus right now is winning the League and helping get Swansea into the Championship Division.

That’s my main aim right now,” Scotland said. He also won the player of the month award in December.
