Nigerian defender Dennis Nya has achieved remarkable recognition in Zambia's football scene, securing two prestigious end-of-season awards at his club Zesco United.

The 28-year-old center-back was honored with the Most Consistent Player award and named Fans' Player of the Year for the 2024/25 season, highlighting his exceptional contributions to the team's performance.

Nya's outstanding displays throughout the season have not gone unnoticed beyond Zambia, as he is reportedly attracting interest from top clubs across Africa and Europe.

The talented defender is no stranger to success, having previously won the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title with Akwa United during the 2020/2021 campaign before taking his talents abroad.

Despite Nya's stellar performances, Zesco United finished the season in second position behind Power Dynamos in the Zambian Super League.

The former Golden Eaglets star's recognition in Zambia adds to the growing list of Nigerian footballers making significant impacts across African leagues, further cementing the country's reputation for producing quality defensive talents.
