Franjo Prce (Croatian pronunciation: [frǎːɲo př̩ːtse];[1][2] born 7 January 1996) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Bulgarian First League side Spartak Varna.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Čapljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Prce played with the youth academy of Croatian club Hajduk Split. However, after the club's reluctance to hand him a professional contract and instead used him in the reserve team, he refused to sign a contract extension proposal.[3] On 16 August 2014, he moved to Italian club Lazio for € 300,000 and signed a professional contract.[3] He featured 27 times for the Lazio Primavera during the 2014–15 season, with his team finishing runners-up to Torino in the Supercoppa Primavera.[4] On 13 January 2016, he was loaned out to Salernitana.[4]

On 23 October 2016, Prce made his first team debut for Lazio, replacing Felipe Anderson in a 2–2 draw against Torino in Serie A.[5] On 12 January 2017, he joined Brescia on a loan deal till June 2018.[6] After being used sparingly, he was recalled from his loan deal by his parent club.[7]

On 31 January 2018, Prce moved to Croatian club Istra 1961 again on a loan deal.[8] On 17 July 2018, he moved abroad and joined Cypriot club AC Omonia on a three-year contract.[9] On 25 August, he made his debut, and also scored a goal in a 1–0 victory over Alki Oroklini.[10]

On 15 September 2021, East Bengal announced that Prce had joined the Indian Super League club on a one-year deal.[11][12] He made his debut on 21 November against Jamshedpur FC in a 1–1 draw.

International career

[edit]

Prce was included in the Croatian under-17 team for the 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[13] He also featured for the team in the 2013 FIFA under-17 World Cup.[14] On 18 March 2017, he was called to the Croatian under-21 team for a friendly match against Slovenia.[15]
