Jurman held off star imports Milos Ninkovic and Filip Holosko to secure the club’s A-League Player of the Year title while also nabbing the Sydney FC Members’ Player of the Year and the Player’s Player of the Year awards.
The defender became only the second player to collect all three major Sydney FC club awards after Milos Dimitrijevic won all three during season 2014-2015.
Missing only two matches of the A-League season, Jurman played every minute of the 25 games he featured in. He also put in a man of the match performance to keep $65 million dollar man Jackson Martinez quiet in the Sky Blues' 2-1 home victory against the reigning AFC Champions league winners Guangzhou Evergrande.
Jurman said he had set out this season to take his game to a new level.
