Ivan Mastelić (born 2 January 1996) is a Croatian football forward, currently playing for Hajduk Split in the Prva HNL.
Club career
Born in Germany, Mastelić moved back at the age of 2 with his mother to the family's native Brnaze, near Sinj, in Croatia, and he started training football there, at the lower-tier Tekstilac Sinj.[1] A versatile player, starting out as a midfielder, but playing at center-back, winger and a forward, he moved, at the age of 12 and at the behest of coach Slaven Lakić, to the second-tier Junak Sinj.[2] He became a first-team regular, now more firmly a forward or a winger, at the age of 16, amassing 20 caps, with a single goal. That did not, however, go unnoticed, and he was snapped up by nearby giants HNK Hajduk Split, where he joined the academy.
At the Hajduk academy, he played mostly as a winger for the U19 team in the 2013/14 season, the forward position being taken by Ivan Prskalo, and, the following year, he established himself as a first-team regular at the club's third-tier reserve side. He made his first-team debut in the club's 19.12.2015 away win against NK Istra 1961, coming in for Fran Tudor in the 89th minute of the match.[3]
