Dinko Horkaš (born 10 March 1999) is a Croatian professional footballer who last played as a goalkeeper for Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

Club career[edit]

Horkaš started playing football in HNK Segesta in his native Sisak, before moving to the GNK Dinamo Zagreb Academy, aged 12.[2] Since late 2016, Horkaš started playing for the Dinamo Zagreb reserve team, featuring also in Dinamo's UEFA Youth League 2016/17 and 2018/19 campaigns. After featuring in 68 matches for the second-tier reserves, he was loaned out to Zrinjski Mostar at the beginning of 2020, as backup for the injured Ivan Brkić[3] His loan was renewed in the summer of 2020, and featured in 8 matches overall for the team before Brkić recovered. With further playing time becoming unlikely, his loan was cancelled in October 2020.[4] The same month, Horkaš moved on to a loan to NK Varaždin.[5]

On 5 July 2022, Horkaš joined Lokomotiv Plovdiv, signing a two-year contract.[6]

International career[edit]

Horkaš amassed 26 caps for Croatia's youth teams between 2014 and 2019.[7]

In November 2022, Bulgarian media reported that Horkaš is applying for Bosnia and Herzegovina passport as his family is from there.[8]
