Taiwo Awoniyi wins PFA Award at Nottingham Forest

Super Eagles attacker Taiwo Awoniyi has been named the PFA Community Champion at Nottingham for the 2024/25 season.

The award comes as the Nigerian is coming off a very challenging season at Nottingham Forest suffering multiple injuries and largely coming off the bench. At the end he only managed just one goal in 26 appearances for the former European cup winners.

The Super Eagles showed a good heart on and off the pitch. In March, Awoniyi treated the Nottingham community to a meal. The meal served as Iftar for the Muslims and a meal break for the Christians in the area, who were in the lent period as well.

Awoniyi has now been awarded for his activities off the pitch. This is as Nottingham Forest, on Tuesday, announced on Twitter (X), “Taiwo Awoniyi has been named our PFA Community Champion for the 2024/25 season in recognition of his outstanding dedication to supporting local communities throughout the year.”

Last week, news broke that Taiwo Awoniyi was in the hospital for a surgery after it was discovered that he ruptured his intestine after an incident in Nottingham Forest’s 2-2 draw against Leicester City two weeks ago.
