Doni Grdić (born 22 January 2002) is a professional soccer player who most recently played for Western Sydney Wanderers. Born in Croatia, he has represented Australia at youth level.
Club career
Grdić started his career with Croatian top flight side Šibenik.[1]
In July 2023, Grdić joined Australian club Western Sydney Wanderers on a one-year contract.[2]
International career
Grdić has played for the Australia national U-17 and U-20 teams through his father, former Australian soccer player Anthony Grdic.[3][4] He remains available to represent for the senior team of either Croatia or Australia.
In May 2021, he was called to the Olyroos by manager Graham Arnold in a string of friendlies preparing for the 2020 Summer Olympics, but was unused in all three friendlies as Australia were edged both by Ireland, Romania and Mexico.[5] He was not included into the final squad of the Olyroos.
