Šerić was born to a Croatian family in Sydney, Australia and received a football scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport. He began his professional football career in Split, Croatia where he played for Hajduk Split.
He then moved to Italy to play in Serie A, initially with Parma. But due to 3+2 non-EU quota, he was loaned to Verona[1] and Adaílton was also signed by Verona from Parma in co-ownership deal.
In 2000, his loan was extended. The quota abolished during the 2000-01 season but Šerić did not earned a return to Parma. In June 2001, team-mate Martin Laursen was bought back by Parma (Parma already bought half in 2000) and Šerić now co-owned by Verona and Parma.[2] Later team-mate striker Alberto Gilardino also bought by Parma in co-ownership deal but loaned back to Verona.
Verona relegated to Serie B in 2002. In June 2002, Šerić was bought back by Verona, and Gilardino was bought in full by Parma.[3] Šerić did not stayed at Serie B, and was loaned Serie A side Brescia.[4]
In 2003-04 season, he rejoined his former Verona coach (in 1999-2000 season) Cesare Prandelli at Parma, while Florian Myrtaj moved to opposite direction.
In 2004-05 season, he left for Lazio[5] as the club has lost Jaap Stam, Siniša Mihajlović, Giuseppe Favalli and only Fernando Couto, Paolo Negro, Massimo Oddo remained. Lazio also signed defender Sebastiano Siviglia and Óscar López.
In 2005 he left for Panathinaikos to re-joined Alberto Malesani his another coach at Verona (2001-02 season).[6][7]
In June 2008 he moved to the Turkish side Beşiktaş on a free transfer closely followed by a move back to his original side Hajduk Split in January 2009. He was a crucial member of Hajduks defence. He played 11 league games by the end of the 2008/2009 season.
He made his debut for the Croatian national team in a friendly match against Slovakia on 29 May 1998 in Pula and collected up to this time a total of 16 international caps for the team. In 1998, he was infamously picked for both Australia and Croatia.[8] He opted to play for Croatia, and his decision immediately paid dividends as the nation finished 3rd at France 1998. He has since been a part of the Croatian squad at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups, but did not play any matches at any of these three tournaments.
