Club career

Dedić started his football career with Koper.[3] In 2001 he transferred to Parma, which loaned him out to Serie B clubs Empoli in the 2004–05 season and Cremonese in the second half of the 2005–06 season. He made his Serie A debut for Parma on 21 September 2005 against Roma.[4]

Dedić joined Frosinone of Serie B in January 2007, signing a contract until June 2011.[5] In January 2008, he was loaned to Piacenza of Serie B and was given the number 9 shirt from Daniele Cacia, who had left for Fiorentina.[6]

After eight years in Italy, Dedić left Frosinone in July 2009 and signed with German club VfL Bochum on a contract until June 2012.[7] In August 2011 he was loaned for one year to Dynamo Dresden.[8]
