Departing star Adrian Segecic claims Sydney FC player-of-the-year honours

Adrian Segecic is leaving Sydney FC on a high after winning the award for the club’s player of the season.

Europe-bound Adrian Segecic has farewelled Sydney FC in style, winning the Sky Blues’ player-of-the-season award.

Segecic, who has been linked with Austrian club Rapid Vienna, was also awarded the members’ best player and Golden Boot gongs at Wednesday night’s Sky Blue Ball.

“It’s a huge honour to be recognised like this,” said the 21-year-old attacking weapon, who scored 18 goals in all competitions for Sydney in the club’s 2024-25 campaign,

“This club means so much to me. I’ve been here since I was 12-years old and I’ve worked

really hard this season with the support of my teammates and the staff.

“I’m grateful to the members and fans who’ve been behind us every step of the way.”

Segecic’s superb individual season had already secured him joint A-League Golden Boot honours with Adelaide United marksman Archie Goodwin.

Sydney’s women’s player-of-the-season award was won by captain Natalie Tobin, who made a successful comeback from a serious knee injury.

“It’s always special to be recognised and even more special to have won this award

for the second time,” Tobin said.

“We are building again and I’m looking forward to coming back bigger and better

next season.”

Mackenzie Hawkesby won the club’s women’s Golden Boot award for her six goals.
