RUYMÁN FERNÁNDEZ WINS THE FANS “Nina Gil” PLAYER OF THE SEASON TROPHY 2025/26

/in /by

Prior to the 1-1 home draw last Sunday UD Lanzarote season ticket holders (abonos) and club members (socios) were able to vote for their top three most favourite players of the season with three points awarded for their first choice, two for the second and one point for the third.

Goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández is UD Lanzarote´s Player of the Season 2025/26 as voted for by the fans. Ruymán is one of the clubs four captains and anyone that knows him understands his love and desire for the club. Over the past few years Ruymán and his fellow goalkeeper and friend Alejandro have always had their fair share of the votes and it is wonderful to see that the Rojillo fans have recognised this and awarded him the honour of winning the trophy.

The fans Player of the Season Ruymán Fernández.

UD Lanzarote President Juan Carlos Albuixech informed Ruymán today on his 38th birthday that he was voted player of the season and as expected he was delighted.

Ruymán will have the honour of being presented the “Nina Gil” trophy on the pitch at the final home league game of the season versus Real Unión Tenerife on May 10th by UD Lanzarote legend Pedro Cruz.

 UD Lanzarote´s second most voted player is last season’s winner, captain Raúl Fernández. Raúl is a quiet man and just does his no nonsense talking on the pitch. I cannot remember a game where he played badly however, he made one mistake in a playoff match a couple of years ago in Gran Canaria which led to a goal.Typically, I sat next to him on the flight home and I was old enough and wise enough to not utter a word, his expression told me everything.

Second place goes to Captain Raúl Fernández who was last seasons winner.

Third place goes to Javi Martín. Last season Javi was voted in fifth place but this season he has cemented third spot and I’m sure that he will want to continue the climb next season. Normally a midfielder but for parts of this campaign due to injuries he has played centre back and has excelled. He has brought that elegance and vision he possesses to the defence and in an instant, he can turn defence into attack with one of his trademark passes.

Midfielder Javi Martín in third place.

Incredibly four players share fourth spot Adrián Machín, Miguel Gopar, Yeray Tavio and Moha.

These are the top five most voted players for UD Lanzarote this season:

  1. Ruymán Fernández (182 points)
  2. Raúl Fernández (151)
  3. Javi Martín (120)
  4. Adrián Machín, Miguel Gopar, Yearay Tavio, Moha (54)

Congratulations to all the players and Happy Birthday to the ¨Nina Gil¨ Player of the Season 2025/26, Ruymán.
