'It's my first ever' - Fulutudilu elated by Finnish Striker of the Year nomination

Aland United striker Ode Fulutudilu has expressed her joy in making the final shortlist for the Finnish Naisten Liiga Attacker of the Year award, which she labelled her "first-ever professional nomination".

The Banyana star had joined the Wiklof Holding Arena outfit in January, months after leaving Spanish side Malaga in 2019, and was in breathtaking form all season for Samuel Fagerholm's team.

In October, the 30-year-old shone in her side's 2-1 victory over TiPS to clinch a first-ever Finnish Women's Cup title before a historic double following a 3-1 final day win over Honka in November.
