Black Stars goalkeeper, Lawrence Ati Zigi has been adjudged Switzerland Super League best player in the first round of the season after an outstanding 2022 with St. Gallen.
The 26-year-old has been one of his team's most consistent performers, as they sit third in the league table this season with 24 points after 16 games.
Ati Zigi was named Player of the Month for November before the World Cup in Qatar, where he started all three games for the Black Stars.
The Ghana shot stopper made solid 58 saves in the first round- a remarkable display which was enough for him to fend off tougher oppositions from David Douline (Servette FC), Valon Fazlu (FC Aarau), Cedric Itten (FC Young Boys) and Koro Kone (Yverdon FC) to the award.
Ati Zigi played in all of Ghana's World Cup games as the Black Stars were eliminated at the group stage. With only three points, the Black Stars finished last in their group.
The Swiss League will recommence on January 23, 2023, after the Christmas break.
