goalscorer
One who scores
A goalscorer is a player who scores a goal, especially in soccer or hockey.
The term often emphasizes someone's role or reputation for scoring: She's been the team's leading goalscorer for three seasons.
A prolific goalscorer finds the net regularly; a natural goalscorer has instinctive finishing ability.
