Nyasha Mushekwi, the prolific striker for Yunnan Yukun, has claimed his second Golden Boot Award in the Chinese League One after finishing as the top scorer of the 2024 season with 25 goals.

Mushekwi’s impressive tally included 12 singles, 5 braces, and a hat-trick, across 30 appearances—starting every game for Yunnan throughout the campaign. His 25-goal haul marks his highest-ever season total in a league competition.

The Zimbabwean forward, who previously won the Golden Boot three years ago in the same league, also received recognition for his individual performances with two Player of the Month awards and two Player of the Week honors during the season.

Colombian forward Juan Alegría of Guangzhou finished second on the scoring chart with 18 goals.

In addition to his personal achievements, Mushekwi helped Yunnan Yukun secure promotion to the Chinese Super League by winning the League One title.

This will mark his return to top-flight football after departing Zhejiang FC last year.
