Rodney Buttigieg, a Xewkija Tigers forward, has been selected as the first BOV GFA Player of the Month for the new football season.

Rodney found the net twice in Xewkija’s 3-2 win over SK Victoria Wanderers in the BOV GFA League and was instrumental in their 4-1 victory over Marsascala and a victory with the same score over SK Victoria Wanderers in the FA Trophy organised by the MFA.

The 26 year old striker started his seniors career with Xewkija and has established himself in the first eleven.

The club said that the attacker, known for his powerful drives towards the opponents’ goal, is also a versatile player and takes up roles further down the field, when instructed by Coach Jesmond Zammit during their effort to defend the title of BOV FA Champions they won last year.

Horace Laudi, Regional Manager for Bank of Valletta in Gozo presented the BOV GFA Player of the Month trophy to Buttigieg in the presence of his team mates and coach.

The Arka Foundation was chosen by Rodney to benefit from the donation associated with this award.
