Career

While still part of the NK Varteks youth system, Škvorc made his professional debut with the senior Varteks in the 2007–08 Prva HNL, in the away game against NK Osijek on 27 October 2007. He established himself as a starting eleven regular in the 2009–10 Prva HNL season, in which he appeared in 27 out of 30 league matches for the club.[2]

In June 2010, after losing its main sponsorship deal (with Varteks clothing factory), Varteks changed its name to NK Varaždin, and immediately started suffering financial difficulties, leading to its players not consistently receiving their salaries. In June 2011, the Croatian Football Federation terminated Varaždin's contract with Škvorc, allowing him to sign a five-year contract with Dinamo Zagreb.[3][4] In August 2011, he was loaned to NK Lokomotiva.[5] In January 2012, Škvorc terminated his contract with Dinamo.[6] In February 2012, Škvorc signed a sixth-month contract with Belgian club KV Mechelen with a possibility of a two-year extension.[7]

Škvorc left Sheriff Tiraspol in January 2017.[8] In February 2017, he signed for RNK Split.[9] Later he played for Polet Sv. Martin na Muri.[10]
