Ivan Anton Vasilj (born 5 April 1991 in Zadar) is a Croatian football player, currently playing for Slaven Belupo on loan from Hajduk Split.

Club career

Vasilj passed through all the ranks of the NK Zadar academy. A captain of their U-19 team at the time,[1] he made his professional debut in the Prva HNL at 6 March 2010 against NK Karlovac.

A left-footed left back/winger, he went on to establish himself in the NK Zadar first team, featuring regularly in the second part of the 2010/2011 season onwards. In December 2012, the doping test after a match revealed the presence of the illegal cannabinoid JWH-018 in his body. It was, however, ascertained, that it wasn't taken directly and willingly, possibly inhaled unwittingly somewhere in form of incense or air freshener, and therefore not punished harshly and he only ended up missing one match because of it.[2] He would go on to feature regularly for the rest of the season.

In January 2014 he terminated his contract with NK Zadar. In February he joined Hajduk Split on a free transfer. He's a left back.

Personal life

Though born and raised in Zadar, his family originally came from Međugorje.[3]
