FORMER Warriors goalkeeper Washington Arubi has been honoured with the Marumo Gallants’ Chairman's Award for his sterling efforts at the South Africa-based club.

Marumo Gallants were relegated at the end of last season after a drama-filled season.

However, Arubi was one of the exceptional players during the season along with striker Ranga Chivaviro.

The ex-Dynamos player was a vital cog in Marumo Gallants' Caf Confederations Cup sojourn. They bowed out in the semi-finals after losing to Tanzanian champions Young Africans.

In 30 games that they played in the league, Gallants only won five games, drew 14 and lost 11.

Arubi was given the award together with coach Raymond Mdaka, while the Midfielder of the Year gong was given to Lucky Mohomi.
