Ivan Dolček, born on 24 April 2000, is a forward who primarily plays as a left winger. Currently plying his trade for Dundee United, he hails from Croatia. He's not the tallest forward out there, standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) but leverages his physique efficiently, weighing in at 11st 6lb (73kg). He typically sports the number 19 jersey.
Dolček's current market value is approximately £800k, as reported by Transfermarkt.
Dolček signed for Slaven Belupo, a club in the HNL in Croatia, in July 2017. During the 2024-2025 season with the club, he made a solid contribution of 31 first-team appearances and bagged three goals in league matches.
After two successful years, in July 2019, he made the move from Slaven Belupo to fellow HNL club, Hajduk Split for a reported figure of around £450k. Dolček appeared ten times for Hajduk Split in 2023-2024 season's league matches.
In a twist of events, Dolček joined Portuguese side Famalicao, albeit on loan, in January 2022. During the 2021-2022 season at Famalicao, he made nine appearances and found the net once in league matches. However, by June, he returned back to Hajduk Split post the completion of his loan spell.
July 2022 saw Dolček on move again, this time on loan to Sibenik in the Druga HNL in Croatia. He had a busy 2022-2023 season, with 29 first team appearances and five goals to his name. Post his successful stint, he returned to Hajduk Split in June 2023.
In January 2024, Dolček took up a new challenge and transferred from Hajduk Split to DAC Dunajská Streda in the Slovak First Football League for a fee of £280k.
Yet, in an unexpected turn, Dolček was loaned to his old club Slaven Belupo in August 2024. During his 2024-2025 tenure with them, he made significant contributions with 31 first-team appearances and three goals in league matches.
After the completion of his loan, he returned to DAC Dunajská Streda in June 2025. However, he wasn't to stay long as in July of the same year, Dolček transferred to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership on loan.
In the current 2025-2026 season at Dundee United, Dolček has been an asset, making 22 first team appearances and scoring five goals in league matches. In addition, he also made his mark in the League Cup 2025-2026 tournament with one start and also played in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, making a start and one appearance as a sub, along with the Conference League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 where he had three starts and one appearance as a substitute.
