Zlatko Tripic (born 2 December 1992) is a Norwegian footballer who plays for Molde FK in Tippeligaen. Tripic is of Bosnian ethnicity, but grew up in Norway and has represented Norway at youth international level.

Club career

He was born in Rijeka, SFR Yugoslavia[1] but grew up in Lyngdal, Norway, playing youth football for Lyngdal IL. During his youth he attended a lot of Start's home matches.[2] He moved to Sirdal in August 2008, and spent the next three years as student at Sirdal VGS fotball. At the same time he joined Tonstad IL, playing league fotball for their first team at the sixth tier of the Norwegian fotball league pyramid. In his last match for Tonstad, at an indoor tournament, Tripic scored the winner goal when Tonstad beat Egersund IK by 2-1 in the final. Egersund, playing at level 3, was impressed by young Tripic, and signed him only two months later. Here, he played an instrumental role as his club pushed for promotion. going top of their league in early June after Tripic scored a goal direct from a free kick against fellow promotion chasers Brodd.

After an impressive display against Viking in a 2001 Norwegian Football Cup first-round tie, he made headlines in several Norwegian newspapers. It was thought that Viking would be his next career stop, but in a hectic summer, where he had trials at both Strømsgodset and Molde, his move to Molde was completed in August 2011 for an undisclosed fee. He only made 11 league appearances for Egersund during the four months he stayed with the club.

He made his debut in Tippeligaen for Molde, coming on as a late substitute in a 2-1 win against Start before he had even trained with his new team mates. The club became league champions in late October.

The next year, Tripic was loaned out to Fredrikstad FK for the last part of the 2012 season, following Etzaz Hussain's transfer the other way around.[3][4]

International career

Tripic made his debut for Norway U21 in a friendly match against Netherlands U21 on 11 October 2012.[5]
