Club career

edit

A product of Hajduk Split Academy, Franić signed a professional contract with the club in July 2005. However, he never appeared for the club as he spent the following years on loans at smaller clubs in Druga HNL (second division) such as NK Zadar, NK Mosor and NK Junak Sinj.

He then spent the 2009–10 season on loan with Zagreb-based Hrvatski Dragovoljac with whom he finished third in the 2009–10 Druga HNL and won promotion to top level. At the end of season he was released from Hajduk and joined Dragovoljac on a free transfer, but only five months later he was released by the club in early January 2011.[1]
