The Warriors’ star received the G4 Claims Player of the Month accolade for the Scottish Premiership club following his stellar performances in January. The Scottish league is also called the William Hill Premiership.

Maswanhise can score in many different ways

“Tawanda is in great form and has developed into a very sharp forward who can score goals in many different ways,” Jens Berthel Askou told Motherwell website.

“I’m positive that getting more recognition for his performances will spark further motivation to strive for more success for the team.”

Speaking on his latest success, Maswanhise said: “January was such a good month for the team. I missed games due to representing my country, and I was eager to hit the ground running when I got back. We managed to have another unbeaten run and win four of our five matches.

He scored in six consecutive games in all competitions

“My teammates work so hard to get me chances in front of goal. It’s my job to keep finding the back of the net, and I’ll keep working hard to do so. I want to keep the fire burning in February until the end of the season.

“We’ve got some huge matches coming up and lots of opportunities. We’ll keep working to get positive results.”

The 23-year-old has been in red-hot form. Over the last five games, the forward has scored six goals for Motherwell following his strike at the Africa Cup of Nations with Zimbabwe at the end of December.

Having scored in six consecutive games in all competitions, Maswanhise is on 18 club goals this season and is top of the Scottish Premiership goalscoring charts with 13 goals in 21 games.
