The 24-year-old scored twice in his side's 2-2 draw against Bibiani Gold Stars on the final day of the season to scoop the golden boot.
Look at the list carefully. Our very own Yaw Annor is in there.
Annor netted 22 times for his club in the just-ended season, of which 20 of those goals came this year.
His goal tally in 2022 makes him the seventh player in the world with the most goals scored this year, ahead of Ben Yedder (19) and Pablo Sarabia (19).
Sadio Mane comes in sixth position with 21 goals, while Brazil international Hulk is level on 20 goals with Ghana’s Annor.
Annor made a slow start to the season but picked up in the second half of the campaign to help Ashanti Gold finish the season strongly.
He was trailing Asante Kotoko forward Franck Etouga Mbella for much of the season but overtook the Cameroonian to win the golden boot on the final day of the season.
