TAMPA, Fla. - Despite a tough loss over the weekend, one Birmingham Legion FC player was still able to shine bright enough to earn league recognition. The USL Championship announced on Tuesday that forward Sebastian Tregarthen was named to its Team of the Week for Week 23.

"There was one player on the field that gave everything," Legion FC coach Mark Briggs said of Tregarthen's performance against Hartford Athletic on Saturday. "He ran, put challenges in for headers, took shots and tried to take his defender on."

Following a stellar outing in a 3-3 draw with Phoenix Rising FC where he scored a goal and played a part in two more, the 25-year-old first-year player again continued to make his presence felt on both ends of the pitch. Providing the assist to midfielder Enzo Martinez for the squad's lone goal of the match, Tregarthen led Legion FC with three total chances created.

He also contributed 70 total touches - six in the opponent's box and five final third entries, while winning eight of his 13 duels to go along with three interceptions and three clearances, all of which were team-highs on the evening.

Tuesday's Team of the Week selection marks the first for Tregarthen in his young professional career. It is also the sixth week in which a Legion FC earned such honors. In Week 19, forwards Ronaldo Damus, Tyler Pasher and Danny Trejo were all selected with Trejo also picking up Player of the Week. Goalkeeper Matt Van Oekel and defender Stephen Turnbull made it in Week 17/18, Pasher in Week 12, Damus in Week 6 and Kobe Hernandez-Foster in Week 3. Additionally, Trejo earned Team of the Round honors following the first round of matches in the 2025 USL Jagermeister Cup.

Louisville City FC midfielder Taylor Davila was named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball for Week 23 with a goal and an assist in a win against the Charleston Battery. The Championship's Player of the Week is selected by the USL National Media Panel, which is made up of representatives from each media market in the Championship.
