AFCON 2025
Nigeria international Frank Onyeka has been shortlisted for Coventry City’s Goal of the Season award following his impressive strike against Derby County.
Onyeka earned the nomination for his goal in Coventry’s 3-2 victory on matchday 40, where he controlled a pass inside the box before firing a first-time effort that sailed over the goalkeeper into the top corner.
The goal marked the midfielder’s first at club level since March 2024, when he found the net for Brentford in a Premier League fixture against Sheffield United.
The 28-year-old joined Coventry City from Brentford during the January transfer window and has since become part of the squad pushing for top-flight stability. His move is expected to be made permanent following the club’s promotion under manager Frank Lampard.
Onyeka faces competition from several teammates for the award, including Victor Torp, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Ephron Mason-Clark, Ellis Simms, Josh Eccles, Jack Rudoni, Matt Grimes and Bobby Thomas.
