Adelaide United has claimed three honours at tonight’s Dolan Warren Awards, capping off the 2025/26 Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s and Ninja A-League Women’s seasons.
Reds forward Luka Jovanović was awarded a share of the Isuzu UTE A-League Golden Boot, finishing the regular season level with Auckland FC’s Sam Cosgrove on 11 goals.
In a dramatic finish to the Golden Boot race, Jovanović struck with literally the last kick of Adelaide United’s regular season campaign to join Cosgrove at the top of the standings, edging ahead of Ifeanyi Eze, Jesse Randall and Clayton Taylor.
The award marks another significant milestone in Jovanović’s development and underlines his growing influence in the Reds’ attacking third.
Adelaide United goalkeeper Claudia Jenkins was also recognised on the night, claiming the Ninja A-League Women Save of the Year for her remarkable triple save against the Newcastle Jets in Round 21.
The award makes it back-to-back Save of the Year honours for Jenkins.
Adelaide United Women were also awarded the Ninja A-League Women Fair Play Award, after finishing the regular season with the fewest points on the competition’s fair play ladder.
Adelaide United Chief Executive Officer, Nathan Kosmina, congratulated Jovanović, Jenkins and the Women’s squad on their achievements.
“It is fantastic to see Luka, Claudia and our Women’s team recognised on a national stage,” Kosmina said.
“Luka’s Golden Boot is a reward for his hard work, resilience and growth over a number of years and to achieve it in such dramatic fashion was fitting recognition to cap off a great season.
“Claudia continues to perform at an elite level, and winning Save of the Year in consecutive seasons is an outstanding achievement.
“We are proud of our Women’s team for receiving the Fair Play Award, which reflects the standards, discipline and values of the group throughout the campaign.”
The three awards highlight a strong night for Adelaide United at the Dolan Warren Awards and recognise the Club’s continued contribution across both the men’s and women’s competitions.
