Player to watch – Elliot Stroud
Mjallby's young defender Elliot Stroud is enjoying his second season with the club having made the move from Oddevold in 2023.
The left-back has developed really well in 2024, adding goals and assists to his game. The 22-year-old is the club's second-top goalscorer this season with four goals and has provided three assists so far.
The Mjallby defender has chipped in with goals and assists this season
We're excited to see how the marauding full-back performs this weekend in a game that Mjallby really need to get something out of to end their losing run on the road. Don't be surprised to see Stroud set up or even score a goal at the Strawberry Arena on Sunday as the full-back is in great form and looks full of confidence.
