FCB Nyasa Big Bullets playmaker Patrick Mwaungulu won the 2023 TNM Super League player of the season and best midfielder awards after being voted by fans and a panel of judges to win the accolades.

Mwaungulu, speaking during the awards ceremony at Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre on Friday, said if it was not for the support from his teammates and coaches, he could not have won the awards.
