He also led the team in clearances (135) and blocks (31). At season’s end, Tulu was named Defender of the Year in the Fan’s Choice Awards and earned his first call to the Togolese National Team’s camp for World Cup Qualifying matches.
COACH WATLING
“Having consistency at the back is so important to our success and Tulu is a large part of that. Tulu adds steel to our defense and was someone we really counted on in 2021. I’m very happy to have him back with us again this season.”
