Safawi Rasid has shown that local strikers can still make their mark in the M-League after winning the Local Golden Boot.
The 28-year-old scored 13 goals during the 2025-26 Super League season while playing for Kuala Lumpur.
Safawi’s achievement is seen as a boost for local forwards in a league where foreign players often dominate the scoring charts.
However, Safawi is not keen to talk about whether he has returned to his best form.
His Golden Boot win comes after a strong season and highlights his return as one of Malaysia’s leading local attackers.
