Fran Tudor (Croatian pronunciation: [frân tûdor];[1][2] born 27 September 1995) is a Croatian footballer who plays as a right back for Hajduk Split in the Prva HNL.
Club career
Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Tudor started his career with lower-tier side Mladost Buzin, originally playing as a forward, aged 10 he was spotted by GNK Dinamo Zagreb scouts and moved there, but 2 years later moved to NK Zagreb where he spent most of his youth career, moving gradually to a right back role. In 2014, he moved to Greece, joining the U20 side of Panathinaikos, where he was helped and mentored by Danijel Pranjić[3]
After a year in Greece, Tudor moved back to Croatia, signing a three and a half-year[4] contract with HNK Hajduk Split. Initially playing for the third-tier B team, where coach Mario Osibov moved him to a more offensive right wing role, he was moved to the first team by the newly appointed sports director/coach Goran Vučević for the match against HNK Rijeka on 18 April 2015, on which he debuted in the first team, scoring the leading goal from a header in the 44th minute in what would be a 1–2 loss for his team, before he was replaced in the 62nd minute by Josip Bašić.[5]
