Club career

[edit]

Born in Trbovlje, Lavrič started playing football for domestic Rudar Trbovlje and later moved to Rudar Velenje. Hajduk Split was the first club outside of Slovenia for which he played, followed by Inter Zaprešić in Croatia. After this, Lavrič moved to German club Dynamo Dresden.

In the 2004–05 season he was voted the second best player of 2. Bundesliga, only beaten by Lukas Podolski.[1] In the match against Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Lavrič scored in 66th minute a goal with a bicycle kick which was later voted as Goal of the Year in 2004 in Germany. In summer 2005, Lavrič joined Bundesliga MSV Duisburg. In 2005–06 season he scored six goals in 22 matches, but nevertheless Duisburg was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. In the 2006–07 season, Lavrič scored 12 goals and was second team's leading scorer and sixth scorer in the second league. Duisburg was promoted again in the following season to the Bundesliga, but Lavrič received little opportunity for play and eventually also lost his place in the Slovenian national team.

After one year in Japan with Omiya Ardija he returned to Europe, this time playing for Sturm Graz[2] in Austria (26 matches, 8 goals). In 2011, Lavrič played for Sankt Gallen 1879 where he scored in his debut match.[3]

International career

[edit]

Lavrič made his debut for Slovenia in a September 2004 World Cup qualification match away against Scotland, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute for Ermin Šiljak, and earned a total of 25 caps, scoring 6 goals.[4] His final international was a February 2008 friendly match against Denmark.[5]
