Nub Tola (Khmer: ណុប តុលា; 1 October 1996) is a Cambodian footballer who played as a defender.

Career

Tola started his career as a forward before he was converted into a defender by former Cambodia national team coach Lee Tae-Hoon, and soon established himself as one of Cambodia's most promising defenders. An intelligent player who has often been praised for his ability to read the game, Tola has also been deployed as a defensive midfielder by former PKR Svay Rieng FC coach Sam Vandeth and former national team coach Prak Sovannara.However, after the arrival of Irish coach Conor Nester at the start of the 2018 MCL season, Tola was converted back to a forward and given the number 9 shirt.
