The new football season is always filled with anticipation and hope, and for Motherwell’s young forward, Tawanda Maswanhise, it marks the beginning of an exciting journey.
After making a strong impression in his inaugural season, he is now setting his sights on even greater achievements.
Maswanhise kicked off the 2025-26 campaign on a high note during Motherwell’s League Cup match against Clyde, where his performance was nothing short of remarkable.
The 22-year-old displayed both poise and skill, scoring two goals that not only showcased his talent but also highlighted his potential as a rising star in Scottish football.
His first goal came from a well-timed header, leveling the match at one goal each; moments later, he delivered a close-range finish to put Motherwell in the lead at 2-1.
The match ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw, but Motherwell managed to secure a penalty shootout bonus point, thanks to their strong performance and Maswanhise’s contributions.
Reflecting on his impressive start, Maswanhise expressed his excitement:
“I’m happy to kick-start the campaign with two goals. I really want to get more goals this season.
This enthusiasm is not just youthful exuberance; it is a clear indication of his determination to grow and succeed.
Generally, scoring goals can be one of the most challenging endeavors for any forward, but for Maswanhise, it’s a welcomed aim.
He acknowledges the importance of continuous improvement and has developed higher goals for himself as he navigates this new season.
Last season, Maswanhise established himself as a notable player on the team, netting six goals and providing four assists—an admirable feat for any player in their first season of senior football.
Now, under the guidance of a new manager, Jens Berthel Askou, Maswanhise is eager to elevate his game even further.
His willingness to push beyond previous limits is a testament to his strong mentality and commitment to both his personal development and the success of the team.
