The Ethiopia international was voted by fans as the best player in the Maltese Women’s Premier League for the 2019-20 season
Loza Abera said she wants to play for top teams in Europe and win more trophies after winning the 2019/2020 Maltese Women’s Player of the Year award.
Abera was announced as the winner of the annual accolade on Wednesday night following her outstanding performances with Birkirkara in the 2019-20 Maltese Women’s Premier League season.
The striker scored 30 goals in 12 games to claim the league’s Golden Boot, inspiring Birkirkara to their ninth crown – her second title in Europe after the 2018 Swedish Elitettan feat with Kungsbacka.
Overall, the 22-year-old netted 33 goals in all 13 appearances as Birkirkara also claimed the 2019 Women’s Super Cup along with the league title.
And the Ethiopia international, who is currently a free-agent following her season-long spell in Malta, reacted to the accolade by appreciating the players who voted for their support.
“I want to thank God for this moment I’m living in my career and, in my life. Hopefully, I can keep playing at this level and win more trophies by the new season. More than grateful!”
After ending her contract with Birkirkara, Abera is eyeing a stay in Europe to achieve more success following her exploits in Sweden and Malta.
