“It was the guys around me who helped me play the way I did during the season, I thank my teammates for helping me raise my game and for assisting me in scoring the number of goals that I did.



Even though I won this award it is an award for the entire team and will motivate each of us to carry on in the future. To be selected by your colleagues and be recognized for your efforts by them on the field is a true honour and one which I appreciate.”



Musona also managed to win four player of the month awards for September, October, November and December.

My teammates backed me all the way and I am happy to have not let them and the fans down, there will be expectations for us to deliver again next season and hopefully we can live up those and do better than we did in the last season. We won’t sit back and we will look to do better next term”
