Defender Gbolagade Adelowo received a cash award of half a million naira yesterday after emerging player of the season at Shooting Stars Sports Club 3SC of Ibadan.
He beat Christian Pyagbara and club captain Taofeek Malomo to the award.
After bagging the accolade, Adelowo was captured in an emotional moment with his mother at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan where 3SC secured a top 4 finish in the top-flight with a 1-0 win over visiting Sporting Lagos.
The emotional moment unfolded on the pitch with the player’s mother overwhelmed with joy and gratitude as she knelt, crying and praying alongside her ecstatic son.
The 26-year-old Adelowo played a pivotal role in the Oluyole Warriors’ fourth-place finish.
He played every single minute of the club’s 38 matches in the just ended Nigeria Premier Football League season, with two goals and two assists to his name.
