Tomislav Bušić (born 2 February 1986, in Split) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Albanian club Flamurtari Vlorë in Albanian Superliga.

Club career

Early career

He also formerly played for Slaven Belupo and Hajduk Split with whom he won the Croatian League in 2005.[1] In the summer of 2007, Bušić was loaned to Dynamo Kyiv for a one-year period but was back to his native club within six months. In June 2009 he was released by Hajduk Split after playing for the club for 5 years, and signed a three-year contract with Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C., playing in the Israeli premier league, on July 2009. After a season there, however, he returned to Croatia, signing with Slaven Belupo.

After leaving Simurq, Bušić signed for Druga HNL side Solin, before leaving for Albanian Superliga Vllaznia Shkodër after only 11 days.

Vllaznia Shkodër

Two days before the end of the summer transfer window, Bušić joined Vllaznia Shkodër on a one-year contract.[2][3]

Tirana

On 10 July 2014, Bušić became a player of Tirana by signing a one-year deal.[4][5] He was chosen as the replacement of Gilberto, who did not find a way to extend his contract with the club.[6] During first part of the season, he had two faces, because he was prolific in 2014–15 Albanian Cup while in 2014–15 Albanian Superliga managed to score once in 15 appearances. Bušić scored that goal on 14 October during a 2–1 win over Elbasani in Qemal Stafa Stadium.[7]

T-Team

In July 2015, Bušić went to Malaysia and signed with T-Team of Malaysian Premier League.[8] He enjoyed a prolific form there, scoring 13 goals in 16 appearances.

Flamurtari Vlorë

After one year hiatus, on 5 July 2016 Bušić returned in Albania by joining Flamurtari Vlorë on a free transfer, rejoining his former Tirana boss Gugash Magani.[9] He signed a one-year contract with a reported annual salary of €40,000.[10] He made his competitive debut for the team on 7 September 2016 in the opening league match of 2016–17 season against Skënderbeu Korçë.[11] His first score-sheet contributions came in his second appearance, netting the second goal of the match as Flamurtari outclassed Luftëtari Gjirokastër by winning 5–0 at home.[12] Busić made his first cup appearance of the 2016–17 season on 5 October in the second leg of first round against Iliria Fushë-Krujë, scoring the opener as Flamurtari recorded a 6–0 home win, qualifying thus to the second round.[13]

On 26 October, in the first leg of the second round, Bušić netted a last-minute equalizer as Flamurtari drew 3–3 away at Tërbuni Pukë.[14] His second league goal came four days later, netting the third in the match against Korabi Peshkopi, returning Flamurtari to the winning ways in league after six matches.[15] Busić was again decisive for his team where he netted a winner in Flamurtari 2–0 home defeat of Skënderbeu Korçë, giving the team its second consecutive league win and removing from the relegation zone.[16]

Busić kicked-off 2017 by playing in team's first match against Skënderbeu Korçë on 28 January, and scored his fourth league goal one week later in the 2–1 home win against Lufëtari Gjirokastër.[17] Five days later, he scored his first brace with Flamurtari, but nevertheless the team was defeated 3–2 by Vllaznia Shkodër at Loro Boriçi Stadium.[18] He finished his first season with the club by making 32 appearances, including 28 in league, scoring 12 goals, including 10 league goals, being the team top goalscorer, as Flamurtari avoided the relegation by just one point.[19]

On 24 June 2017, Bušić agreed a contract extension, signing until June 2018.[20]

International career

Bušić has been a regular and key part of the Croatian national under-21 team.
