Rajko Rep (born 20 June 1990 in Rogatec[1]) is a Slovenian football midfielder who is currently playing for LASK Linz.

Club career

Rep started his career at Mons Claudius from Rogatec and was then transferred to Celje youth sides, where he signed his first professional contract. For a short period of time he also played for MU Šentjur on loan. He was named a team captain during his time in Celje at the age of 19 and was the youngest captain in the history of the club.[2]

In late August 2010 he signed a four-year contract with Slovenian giants Maribor.[1][3] In August 2011, he was loaned to Mura 05 until the end of the 2011–12 Slovenian PrvaLiga season.[4]

International career

Rep played for Slovenia U19 through qualifications for 2009 UEFA U–19 Championship where he scored five out of six Slovenia goals in the final phase of qualifications including a hattrick against Russia U19.[5] He also scored a goal against Netherlands U19[6] and Belarus U19.[7] He was the best goalscorer in whole 2009 UEFA U–19 Championship during this phase of the qualifications campaign. On the final tournament, Rep failed to score a goal and Slovenia finished the tournament with one point in the last (eight) place.

Personal life

Rep was born in Rogatec and started to play football at a local club when he was six years old.[8] He is a declared Maribor supporter as he started to support the team during 1999 when The Violets were playing in the group stages of the elite UEFA Champions League.[9][10] During his time as captain in Celje he was criticized by local fans for publicly stating on Facebook that he is a fan of NK Maribor and even for wearing purple/yellow football shoes during matches, which are the traditional colours of NK Maribor.
