Despite not securing a contract extension, Segecic had a standout 2024-25 season with Sydney FC, who just fell short of reaching the Finals Series.
The young star shared the Isuzu UTE A-League Golden Boot with Adelaide United’s Archie Goodwin, with both players netting 13 goals.
This achievement makes Segecic the third-youngest player to feature on the all-time list, accomplishing this at the age of 20 years and 337 days.
