Club career

Born in Pula, he started his career in his hometown club NK Žminj, where he scored seven goals in 22 matches, aged 17. In the summer of 2007 he followed his uncle, the coach Igor Pamić to NK Karlovac, another Treća HNL team at the time. His performances there drew the attention of HNK Rijeka, with whom he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract in January 2008. He was sent back to Karlovac for the remainder of the season, scoring 15 goals in 24 league matches for the club that season. He spent the subsequent three-and-a-half years with Rijeka, scoring nine goals for the club. He had moderate success with Rijeka, leading to his transfer to Istra 1961, where he scored 7 goals in the first 13 games.[3]
