Školnik started his career with hometown NK Maribor at the age of 7,[2] and then transferred to Železničar Maribor at the age of 14.[3] He played there for three years before returning to Maribor, where he signed his first professional contract.[2]

Školnik then played for Maribor in the Slovenian PrvaLiga for three seasons, earning 72 appearances and scoring 6 goals in the process.[4] After the 2009–10 season, he moved to Portuguese first division team Nacional, where he joined his former Maribor teammate Rene Mihelič, signing a five-year contract.[5]

International career

Školnik was a member of the Croatian under-21 team. Before his international debut for Croatia, he was offered a place in the Slovenian under-21, but Školnik turned down the offer and decided in favour of his parents' homeland.[7][8]
