JOSE Carlos Nogueira Junior
is the BOV GFA Player of the
Month for November 2019.
The Xewkija forward, better
known as Juninho, joined the
Tigers this season following a
career across Bulgaria, Armenia
and Turkey.
The 34-year-old is a very versa-
tile attacker and also very effec-
tive in creating attacking oppor-
tunities from the wings.
Juninho was the main protago-
nist in Xewkija's 8-1 routing of
Munxar Falcons in the BOV
GFA Cup preliminary round,
where finding themselves a goal
under, Juninho scored the equal-
iser and set up a number of his
team's conversions.
He also distinguished himself
in Xewkija's 2-0 win over Xaghra
United in the BOV GFA First
Division.
Juninho received his commem-
orative trophy from Horace Lau-
di, Chief Officer at Bank of Val-
letta and selected Fondazzjoni
Arka to benefit from the dona-
tion associated with this award.
Xewkija's Jose Carlos Nogueira Junior
named BOV GFA Player of the Month
