The Betway Premiership season concluded with a historic milestone for Lamontville Golden Arrows. Striker Junior Sede Dion secured the prestigious Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot. This achievement places him in elite company within the club’s history.
A Historic Milestone for Arrows
The 27-year-old forward finished the campaign as the league’s top goal scorer. This feat makes Dion only the second player in the history of the club to win the award. He follows late club legend Richard Henyekane, who achieved the honour in the 2008/09 season.
The achievement highlights the offensive growth of the squad. The team scored 34 goals during the campaign. This total was the third-highest in the league, trailing only champions Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns FC.
Team Success and Top 8 Return
Individual accolades often reflect a broader team structure. Under the guidance of coach Manqoba Mngqithi, the club secured a sixth-place finish. The result marks a return to the Top 8 positions.
The season concluded with a goalless draw against TS Galaxy FC at the King Zwelithini Stadium. Following the match, the media team presented Dion with a makeshift Golden Boot celebration alongside his teammates and staff.
A Collective Celebration
Dion expressed gratitude to the squad during the presentation. The striker noted that the achievement belonged to everyone involved with the team. He shared plans to frame a photograph of the collective group to commemorate the occasion.
