After experiencing challenges last season, Mugabi has remarkably turned things around this time, firmly establishing himself in Motherwell's defence.

His impeccable defensive display, marked by crucial blocks and dominance in aerial duels, was particularly instrumental in Motherwell's narrow victory over Hearts in Edinburgh.

Furthermore, Mugabi's 29 interceptions this month and a commendable pass accuracy of 85% have been central to the team's pleasing football style.

The matches in September saw Motherwell face off against Hearts, St Mirren, Rangers, and Celtic, with varying outcomes.

While Mugabi's brilliance shines, three other Motherwell players join him in the race for the monthly accolade.
