Osunwa is on 33 goals, a tally which includes 4 hattricks, 5 brace in addition to five man of the match award. He is now the all time scorer in the league with 158 goals since moving to the country in 2011 from Dolphins of Porthacourt.
His goals tally includes 54 with Al-Hilal, 62 with Al-Merikh aside his present goal count of 33 and still counting with Al-Ahly Shendy in the Sudanese Premier League.
The 31 year old joined Al-Hilal of Sudan, when he first arrived in the country before leaving the club six years later in a controversial big money move to fierce rivals Al-Merreikh.
