Claudio wins Premiership Player of the Month

11 November 2025

Claudio Braga has been named as the William Hill SPFL Premiership Player of the Month for October.

 

The forward makes it two wins in a row for the Jambos, following Lawrence Shankland’s success in September.

 

Claudio enjoyed an excellent October, bagging three goals to help keep the Jam Tarts unbeaten and at the summit of the Premiership table.

 

He scored a stylish brace in the superb 3-0 win away to Kilmarnock on October 18th, before heading home the second equaliser in the hard-fought 2-2 draw away to St Mirren on October 29th.

 

The Portuguese’s recognition means Hearts have now picked six monthly awards since the start of the 2025/26 campaign.
