He started his career as a goalkeeper in Medveščak.[2] In 2011 he came to Siscia, where he moved to the position of pivot. Although he played in qualifications for the EHF Cup, due to a financial crisis in the club he went to Qatar. There, he played for 5 years in Al Sadd.[3]

In 2017, he returned to Croatia and three months later signed a contract with RK Nexe Našice. He is still playing for the Qatar national team.
