Career highlights and awards

Toni Dijan (born 17 February 1983) is a Croatian professional basketball player currently playing for Split in the Croatian League. He plays the small forward position.

Dijan, a native of Sukošan, is a product of the Zadar basketball school. He played in the Croatian national youth selections. He was part of the team that won silver at the 2000 FIBA U-18 European Championship held in Zadar, losing in the finals by just one point from France led by Tony Parker. He was also chosen for the All-Tournament team.

Unfortunately, his senior career, marked with many injuries, did not follow the success of his youth career. He signed his first professional contract with Zadar in 2000 and stayed with the club for the next five years. In this period Zadar won the Adriatic League in 2003 and the Croatian League in 2005, along with two Croatian Cups. In 2005 Dijan moves to the Slovenian Union Olimpija where he spent one season. After spending the 2007-08 season at the Bosnian Široki Prima pivo, he returns to the Croatian League signing with Zagreb in 2008. He spent another two seasons in Split and in the summer of 2013 decided to return to Zadar. [1] He averaged 8.0 pts, 3.5 reb, 1.3 ass in the 2012-13 season of the ABA League.[2]

In January 2015 he joined his former club Split.[3]
