Dejan Kelhar (born 5 April 1984) is a Slovenian footballer who plays for Olimpija Ljubljana in the Slovenian PrvaLiga.
Career
Club
Kelhar started playing football with Brežice, until he moved to Celje. He played there for two seasons in PrvaLiga. At the same time he also played for the Slovenian Second League side Krško, because Football Association of Slovenia regulations allowed to register youth players in two clubs from different league levels.
In 2004, Kelhar was transferred for €100,000 to SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the 2. Bundesliga. His transfer was not a big success and he returned to NK Publikum. On 31 January 2009, the last day before the closing of the winter transfer window, Kelhar signed a contract with Cercle Brugge.
In February 2011, he joined Legia Warszawa on two and a half year contract.[1]
In July 2012, Kelhar joined Gabala of the Azerbaijan Premier League on a two-year contract.[2][3] Kelhar's debut came on 4 August 2012 against Simurq in a game that also saw him score his first goal for the club after 15 minutes.[4] Kelhar went on to play in 28 league and three Cup games for Gabala in his first season. Kelhar appeared seven times for Gabala in his second season before leaving in December 2013.[5][6]
At the start of February 2014, Kelhar signed a six-month contract, with the option of another year, with Red Star Belgrade.[7]
On 6 August 2014, Kelhar signed a short term contract with English Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.[8][9] Kelhar was released by Sheffield Wednesday at the end of the 2014–15 season, having not made an appearance for the club.[10]
International career
Kelhar made his debut for the national side in friendly match against Qatar on 3 March 2010 in Maribor.[11]
