Dino Đulbić (born 16 February 1983) is a Bosnian-born Australian football (soccer) player who currently plays for A-League club Perth Glory.

Club career

Đulbić playing for Perth Glory

Whilst playing for South Melbourne FC in 2006, Đulbić won a Victorian Premier League Champions medal. South beat Altona Magic 1–0 on the Grand Final to claim the honour.

Đulbić impressed Perth Glory's coaching staff when on trial with the club in 2006 and was subsequently signed. The 24-year-old was a standout player for the club in his first A-League season and featured prominently in the club's best and fairest award, the Most Glorious Player (MGP Award), coming third behind Nikolai Topor-Stanley and Jamie Coyne.[1] On 31 August 2008, in a match against Sydney FC, Đulbić received a red card for unsporting conduct towards referee Peter Green. He was suspended for five games.[2]

On 20 January 2009, Đjulbić signed with German 2. Bundesliga club Rot Weiss Ahlen and returned to his former youth club, but had limited game time due to injury.

On 30 December 2009, Đjulbić left Germany to join Gold Coast United[3] for the last seven games of the clubs inaugural season. He appeared in the club's only 2009–10 final, and continued to be a regular starter in the 2010–11 season, contributing three goals whilst helping maintain Gold Coast's solid defence.

Towards the end of the 2010–11 A-League season, Đulbić partook in discussions with Chinese Super League club Shaanxi Renhe Commercial Chanba F.C. He reportedly signed a two-year deal with the club and played his first match on 3 April 2011.[4] The club later changed its name to Guizhou Renhe after moving to Guizhou. Đulbić was rewarded for being a crucial part of Guizhou's AFC Champions League ambitions and for his performances by making the CSL's XI (All Star Team 2012).[5]

At the conclusion of the 2012 CSL season, Đulbić signed with Al-Wahda S.C.C. on a one and a half-year deal with the Abu Dhabi club.[6]

In the off-season of 2014, Đulbić returned to the A-League, signing again with Perth Glory.[7]

International career

Dino was born in Bosnia, but immigrated to Australia via Germany at the age of 16 years and was later naturalized as an Australian. In 2012 during the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup qualifiers, Đulbić made his Australian national team debut when he featured in two of the Socceroo's Preliminary Round 2 matches against Guam and Chinese Taipei.[8]
