Xewkija Tigers’ 29-year old forward Rodney Buttigieg is the BOV GFA Player of the Month for December.

Buttigieg received his trophy from Horace Laudi, Chief Officer at Bank of Valletta in the presence of his team mates and coach Alex Simoncic.

His career started at Xewkija, where he won numerous awards, both individually and at club level. His goal scoring instinct has helped Xewkija come out of tight spots many a time and is one of the three top all time scorers for the Tigers.

The GFA said that Xewkija had a great start to the 2020-2021 BOV GFA League, with Buttigieg playing a central role in leading the younger players in the team this season.

Xewkija were trailing SK Victoria Wanderers by 2 goals in December, when Buttigieg spurred his team’s comeback with their opening goal, with Xewkija winning the match 3-2. Again trailing Oratory Youths by the odd goal, Buttigieg turned the match into a victory with 2 goals.

Rodney Buttigieg chose the Arka Foundation to benefit from the BOV donation associated with this award.
