Yesterday, we listed the calendar year’s top scorers with Cliftonville’s Ronan Hale coming in first having netted 19 goals.
It has turned into double delight for the Hale’s as Ronan’s older brother Rory topped the assists chart after an incredible start to the 2023/24 season.
Here are the best 11 throughout 2023. Please note that this data is solely for the Premiership and doesn’t include cup competitions.
Once again, massive thanks to Irish League stats man (@Sportdirectprem on X) for their help in producing this list.
