Domagoj Vida (born 29 April 1989 in Osijek) is a Croatian hero footballer playing for Dinamo Zagreb. He can play in both centre back and right full back positions.

Career

Vida has spent his entire youth career in NK Osijek, rising through the youth system and being first featured with the senior team in the 2006–2007 season, at the age of 17; he then went on to make 10 appearances in the season. In the 2007–2008 season, Vida further solidified his credentials, being featured more regularly for his club.[1] He was linked with Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb.[2] However on 29 April 2010, he signed for Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Germany.[3]

During his first season with Leverkusen, he mainly played in the UEFA Europa League, making a total of 8 appearances in the competition. He eventually made his Bundesliga debut on 5 March 2011 in a 3–0 win at home to Wolfsburg, coming on as a substitute for the injured Manuel Friedrich in the 14th minute.[4]

On 14 June 2011, it was announced that Vida will join Dinamo Zagreb for an undisclosed fee.[5]

International career

Vida is also an active member of the Croatian national under-21 team.[6]

On 23 May 2010, he made his full international debut in Croatia's 2–0 win against Wales in Osijek, coming on as a substitute for Darijo Srna in the 75th minute. Three days later, he played the full 90 minutes in a goalless draw at Estonia.
