Before he signed a professional three-year contract with Osijek in October 2010, Špehar scored over 300 goals in his appearances for Osijek's youth categories.[2] He made his debut for the first team in a cup game against Šibenik on 27 October 2010, when he replaced Vedran Nikšić for the final ten minutes of the match.[3] On his first appearance for Osijek in Prva HNL, he scored his first league goal, a late equalizer against Slaven Belupo.[4] In the second leg of Croatian Cup quarter-finals against Dinamo Zagreb, Špehar scored the opening goal but Osijek lost 3–1 and was eliminated with an aggregate score 5–1.[5]
GNK Dinamo Zagreb
On 25 August 2011, it was announced that Špehar signed a seven-year contract with Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb.[6]
RNK Split
In June 2015, Špehar terminated his contract with Dinamo Zagreb and signed a three-year contract with RNK Split.[7]
International career
Špehar was a part of the Croatian national Under-17 team in the qualifications for the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship and scored four goals in six games. Although Croatia ended qualifications undefeated, in the elite round they finished runners-up in the group behind hosts Netherlands and failed to qualify.[8][9]
