Jurica Vranješ (pronounced [ˈjuritsa ˈʋraɲɛʃ]; born 31 January 1980) is a Croatian footballer who is currently without club. At his best, was a versatile midfielder who was valuable for club and country. Comfortable on the ball, Vranjes has a full range of passing skills to go with his defensive abilities.[3] He is also capable of playing as sweeper and known for his exquisite timing in the tackle.[3]

Career

Vranješ was born in Osijek, Croatia. He started playing in NK Osijek where he played between 1997 and 1999. Some websites say Vranješ started his career at FK Vojvodina, but Vranješ himself explained how those websites confused their statistics with another player, Mićo Vranješ, playing back then in Vojvodina.[4] After playing with Osijek in the Prva HNL, he then moved to Bayer Leverkusen where he played three seasons until moving to VfB Stuttgart[5] in 2003 and finally to Werder Bremen in 2005. His current club announced on 24 August 2009 that he can leave the club.[6] On 29 January 2010, he left SV Werder Bremen and was loaned to Gençlerbirliği for the rest of the season.[7] In September 2011, Vranješ joined Aris Thessaloniki F.C.. He made his debut in the yellow jersey against Olympiakos F.C.. His contract was terminated on 10 January 2012. In May 2012, he joined HNK Rijeka in Croatia, where he played six games before his contract with the club was terminated in November 2012.[8]

International career

Vranješ was part of the Croatian national team in 2002 FIFA World Cup where he played in two games. He also played in the Croatian team at the 1998 Under-18 European Championship when Croatia won the third place.
