Stephen Mason, Regional Manager, Bank of Ireland presented Keith with the award recently in the RDS.

On receiving the award, Keith said: "I would like to say a big thank you to the Leinster supporters who nominated me for this award. It's a great honour to receive this, especially when all the team have been putting in such good performances recently."

Leinster took to the field for three games in January and it was Keith's strong performance against Toulouse in the RDS that had supporters voting for him. His contribution in this game ensured Leinster took a 20-13 win over three-time champions Toulouse.

Keith will join Jamie Heaslip, Bernard Jackman and Jonathan Sexton on this much sought-after accolade. Voting lines are open for the February Bank of Ireland Player of the Month.
