CRISTIANO RONALDO has been announced as the Saudi League Player of the Month for February.
The 38-year-old, who joined Al Nassr late last year on a free transfer, enjoyed a fantastic February, scoring eight goals and assisting two in just four games.
Ronaldo’s contribution has helped Al Nassr strengthen their bid to end Al Hilal’s three-year dominance.
Al Nassr top the Saudi League by two points, with Al Ittihad in second on 41 points.
Defending champions Al Hilal are 11 points off top spot – but they have a whopping three games in hand which could fire them into title contention.
Ronaldo’s goal-scoring form started against Al Fateh on February 3.
