Portsmouth forward Adrian Segecic has been named the Championship’s player of the month for April.

The 21-year-old scored four goals last month, including a hat-trick at Stoke City which helped to cement his place as Pompey’s top scorer with 11 goals across the season.

Segecic joined Portsmouth from Sydney FC in June 2025 and made 38 Championship appearances as they finished in 18th place, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

“This award is thoroughly deserved and I’m delighted for Segs, who has really impressed in what is his first season in English football,” said Pompey boss John Mousinho.

“He managed to find top form at such an important time, with an assist in each of those three successive wins that secured our Championship status.

“He’s still a young player, and there is plenty of room for improvement, so I’m excited to see how he can continue his development at Pompey next season.”

The Australia-born winger switched international allegiance earlier this year and made his debut for Croatia Under-21s in a 3-0 European Championship qualifying win over Turkey in March, with the chance he could now make the step-up to the senior squad for this summer’s World Cup.

Wrexham forward Josh Windass, Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton and Norwich forward Mohamed Toure were also nominated for the award.
