Pero Pejić

Early career

Pejić began his career at local club NK Zmaj Makarska but soon moved to play for Vrbovec in 2000. After two years at the club, he decided to move to Croatia Sesvete, from there he moved to a bigger club, Slaven Belupo. After three and a half years at the Koprivnica club moved abroad for the first time to play for Albanian side Dinamo Tirana.

However that goal was to open the floodgates of the strikers scoring in Albania, as he managed to hit four goals past Shkumbini Peqin the next week in an emphatic 5–0 victory. The 2006–07 season was not a successful one for Dinamo Tirana as they did not win any trophies and the club only managed a 5th-place finish, although Pejić did score 6 times in 13 games for his side. He started the 2007–08 season by scoring a hat-trick in the matchday 3 against Kastrioti Krujë, giving his team a comfortable 4–0 home win. Throughout the season, Pejić scored 18 league goals in 31 appearances, as Dinamo Tirana clinched its 17…
