Monthly accolades go to Ajax and Black Aces
PSL recognises the player and coach for the month of August.
AJAX Cape Town striker Prince Nxumalo and Muhsin Ertugral, Mpumalanga Black Aces coach, have been announced as the winners of the Absa Premiership August player and coach of the month.
The awards were handed to them on Wednesday, September 9.
Black Aces have enjoyed an impressive start to the 2015/16 Absa Premiership season, securing two victories and a draw in their opening three matches. The Turkish-born coach joined MP Black Aces during the off-season and has performed admirably to lift the morale and invigorate both the youngsters and long-serving players at the club.
Following closely on Aces’ heels in the standings is the Urban Warriors with two victories from three outings. Their good start to the season has been spearheaded by the rejuvenated Prince Nxumalo, formerly with SuperSport United. Nxumalo has hit the back of the net three times in the two come-from-behind wins for Ajax. He is currently the leading Absa Premiership goal scorer with three goals.
The judging panel felt that the Durban-born striker has stood head and shoulders above his peers during the first rounds of the campaign. Nxumalo has not only netted the goals but also allowed his teammates to feed off him as the target man, which has worked wonders for Ajax.
