Club career

Born in Split, Rapaić joined HNK Hajduk Split in 2007, from NK Dugopolje. In January 2015, he moved abroad after agreeing to an initial six-month loan deal with Inter Milan.[1] He returned to Hajduk in July 2016, and started to appear with the reserve team.

In February 2018, Rapaić joined Fenerbahçe SK and was assigned to their under-21 (A2) squad.[2] In July he was released, and subsequently had trials at Royal Antwerp FC.[3]

On 24 July 2019, Rapaić switched teams and countries again after signing for UD Las Palmas; he was initially assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B.[4] He made his professional debut on 18 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rubén Castro in a 0–1 home loss against SD Huesca in the Segunda División championship.[5]

On 31 January 2020, after one appearance for the main squad and one for the B-side, Rapaić terminated his contract with the Canarians.[6]

Rapaić's father Milan was also a footballer. An attacking midfielder, he also started his career at Hajduk.[7]
