Portsmouth sign Australian forward Segecic

Adrian Segecic scored 18 goals in all competitions for Sydney FC last season

Portsmouth have signed Australian forward Adrian Segecic from Sydney FC for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old was the joint-top scorer in the A-League with 13 goals last season and has signed a three-year contract at Fratton Park.

Segecic becomes the fourth Australian to join Portsmouth along with Jacob Farrell, Hayden Matthews and Thomas Waddingham.

"Adrian is a really exciting young player – one of the hottest prospects coming out of Australia at the moment," Portsmouth boss John Mousinho told the club website.

"We've already had some success with bringing people over from that part of the world and we hope that Adrian can now make a real impact at Pompey."

Segecic is Portsmouth's first signing of the summer after they finished 16th in the Championship last season.
