Rajko Brežančić (Serbian Cyrillic: Рајко Брежанчић; born 21 August 1989) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Spanish club Huesca.

Club career

Brežančić signed his first professional contract with Partizan on 1 June 2007, penning a five-year deal.[1] He subsequently went on loan to Teleoptik and Bežanija in order to get experience. In January 2009, Brežančić returned to Partizan and made seven league appearances until the end of the 2008–09 season. He recorded three more during the first part of the 2009–10 season, before moving on loan to Teleoptik again in January 2010.

In the summer of 2010, Brežančić signed with Metalac Gornji Milanovac. He was then loaned to Bežanija during the 2011 winter transfer window. After a six-month period, Brežančić signed a permanent contract with Bežanija and stayed there for the next two seasons.

In the summer of 2013, Brežančić was transferred to newly promoted SuperLiga club Čukarički. He made 29 league appearances in the 2013–14 campaign and scored one goal. In the following season, Brežančić again missed only one out of 30 league games and scored one goal, as Čukarički finished in third place. He also helped the team win the 2014–15 Serbian Cup.[2]

On 4 August 2015, Brežančić signed a three-year contract with Dutch club AZ.[3] He made his official debut for the club in a 3–1 away league win over De Graafschap on 12 September 2015, scoring the opener early in the game.

In August 2016, Brežančić was transferred to Spain and joined Segunda División club Huesca.[4]

International career

Brežančić represented Serbia and Montenegro at the 2006 UEFA Under-17 Championship. He also played for Serbia U19 in the team's unsuccessful qualifying campaign for the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. In early 2009, Brežančić participated with the under-20 team at an international friendly tournament in Qatar.[5][6]

Brežančić made his debut for the Serbia national under-21 team in a 4–1 friendly win over the Macedonia U21s on 7 June 2009.[7] He was subsequently a member of the team at the 2009 UEFA Under-21 Championship, but failed to make any appearance at the tournament. Brežančić recorded his second appearance for the under-21 side in a 1–0 home friendly win over Israel U21 on 11 August 2009. His third and last appearance for the team came in another friendly, a 1–3 loss away to Romania U21 on 26 May 2010.[8]
