Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi has expressed gratitude to his teammates after being honoured for reaching 100 appearances for Nottingham Forest.
The forward was presented with a commemorative shirt bearing the number “100” to celebrate the milestone following Forest’s successful fight against relegation.
“It wouldn’t have been possible without my teammates,” Awoniyi said.
According to the Nigerian striker, reaching the landmark appearance figure means even more because of the difficult journey the club has faced in recent seasons.
“We’ve been through a lot together,” he implied.
Awoniyi also praised the current progress of the club after Forest secured their Premier League status once again.
“It’s good to see where the club is now,” he noted.
The Super Eagles forward has played an important role for Forest since joining the club, contributing vital goals and performances during challenging periods.
“He’s become a key figure for the team,” many supporters believe.
Awoniyi admitted that surviving relegation and reaching 100 appearances made the occasion especially emotional and rewarding.
“These are special moments,” he added.
For the Nigerian international, the achievement reflects collective effort rather than individual success alone.
“Football is always about the team,” he stressed.
As Forest continue building toward greater stability in the Premier League, Awoniyi remains proud of the progress achieved so far.
For the Nigerian striker, the message is clear.
Success takes teamwork.
Consistency matters.
And difficult moments make achievements more meaningful.
Because lasting football memories are created through resilience and unity.
