He was awarded the Giuseppe-Saputo Trophy, which is the award for the standout performer of the season.
This achievement makes him the highest scorer as a freshman since Didier Drogba, who hit the net 11 times in 2015 for the club.
Orji is one of the Nigerian players managed by Arthurlegacy.
Other key players include Sadick Umar of Partizan Belgrade, Kingsley Dogo and Michael of Bologna currently on Loan at Cremona.
The young prodigy is on loan from Bologna FC in Italy.
