Voting is now open for the latest Goldsmiths Player of the Month award.Miles Benjamin, Sebastian de Chaves and Adam Thompstone are on the three-man shortlist and fans can vote now via the Goldsmiths Facebook page at www.facebook.com/GoldsmithsUK.   Mathew Tait was announced as the winner for January during half-time of the LV= Cup game against Northampton Saints.   Benjamin receives his third Goldsmiths Player of the Month nomination this season. Benjamin is Tigers' second leading try-scorer, scoring his fifth of the campaign in the European victory over Scarlets at Welford Road.   De Chaves enjoyed leading Tigers to victory at Cardiff in his first game as a Tigers captain. The second row also took on a leading role in a young team in the Cup win against Saints, a game in which he scored his first Tigers try.   Adam Thompstone has scored four tries in his last four games to signal his return to form after recovering from injury. The winger scored a brace against Cardiff to follow his tries against Scarlets and Ulster Rugby in rounds 5 and 6 of the European Rugby Champions Cup.   They will be aiming to follow Tait, Graham Kitchener, Julian Salvi, Jamie Gibson and Harry Thacker as previous Goldsmiths Player of the Month winners.   The Tigers Player of the Month award is supported by Goldsmiths, the largest prestige and luxury jewellers in the UK, who are also official East Stand sponsors and official timekeepers.
