Vanja Džaferović (born 19 March 1983) is a former Croatian footballer.[1]

Early life

Džaferović was born in Bosanski Brod, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and moved with his family in his childhood to Croatia due to the Bosnian War.[2][3]

Career

Džaferović began his career in the local NK Inter Zaprešić.[4] In June 2002, he transferred to HNK Segesta from Croatian town Sisak.

In July 2005 he signed for Beroe Stara Zagora in the Bulgarian A PFG, for an undisclosed fee. On 7 August 2005, he made his league debut in a 3–1 away loss against Vihren Sandanski. Džaferović scored his first ever goal for Beroe on 18 March 2006 against Litex Lovech; Beroe won 3–1. On 26 October 2006, Beroe manager Ilian Iliev chose Vanja as his club captain.[5]

In 2008 Džaferović signed with Lokomotiv Sofia. He remained at Lokomotiv until July 2010 when he joined Ethnikos Achna after his contract expired, but he never played for the Cyprus team.[6] The following month, he suffered a severe injury and was ruled out for nine months.[7]

Džaferović was out of contract with Ethnikos when he was signed by the Beroe manager Ilian Iliev on 15 December 2010.[8] Džaferović's first appearance back at Beroe was as a substitute against Akademik Sofia on 8 May 2011. Unfortunately, he sustained another injury during his time with Beroe and eventually did not return to football. Džaferović has made 129 appearances in the A PFG, being in the "top 20 club" for foreign players in the top flight of Bulgarian football.[9]

Personal life

Džaferović is married to Evgeniya. As of 2012 he is completing paperwork to allow him to stay in Bulgaria.[10]
