The talented young striker has won the goal king award for the second successive time in the American Junior Major League Soccer
Ghanaian-born American youngster Silas Twumasi has retained the American Junior Major League Soccer goal king accolade for the 2012-2013 season with 19 league goals.
Twumasi, 16, netted 19 goals last season to win the prestigious award and he was again on fire this term scoring the same amount of goals to win the award for the second time in succession.
“Last Season I won the top scorer with 19 goals and I am happy to score the same amount of goals and winning the award again despite some setbacks,” Twumasi told Goal Ghana.
“It is good for me because this season has been hectic. I had a serious knee injury and was sidelined for some months so coming back to win the goal king award makes me feel great despite the fact that we lost the State Cup finals, we were eyeing a double.”
Twumasi added: “My dream is to complete my High School Education next year and head for Europe to play professional football and let the world see my talent.”
The Walton High School student, who is the hottest striker in the American Junior Major League Soccer, has already trained with the senior side of MLS giants New York Red Bulls.
He was born in Ghana, but moved to New York whilst still an infant and has stated his desire to play for Ghana.
