Playing career
He was born in the village of Žminj in Istria and started his professional career at the club Istra Pula in early 1992.

After one season with Osijek, he moved abroad by signing with French club Sochaux in July 1996. He scored a total of 57 goals in five seasons of playing in the Croatian First League.[1]
He made his debut for the Croatian national team in a friendly match against Hungary on 10 April 1996 in Osijek and also managed to score his first and only international goal in this match. He was subsequently also part of the Croatian squad at the UEFA Euro 1996 finals in England, but made only one appearance at the tournament by playing the first half of the final group match against Portugal. He subsequently appeared in only two more matches for the Croatian national team, playing as a substitute in a 1996 friendly against Morocco as well as in the Croatian team's first UEFA Euro 2000 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland on 5 September 1998. In all, he won a total of five international caps and scored one goal for Croatia.[2]
At club level, he left Sochaux in June 1997 after one season of playing for the club and went on to sign with German Bundesliga side Hansa Rostock. In a season and half of playing for Hansa, Pamić appeared in a total of 37 Bundesliga matches and managed to score 13 goals for the club in the league. With the beginning of the year 1999, he transferred to Austrian Bundesliga side Grazer AK and continued to play for the club before he finished his career as a player in the autumn of 2001, playing his last league match on 21 October 2001 against Rapid Wien. In two half-seasons and two entire seasons of playing for GAK, he appeared in a total of 66 Bundesliga matches and scored 23 goals.
