Rene Mihelič (born 5 July 1988) is a Slovenian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Indian club Delhi Dynamos FC.

Career

A former Slovenian under-21 and senior international, he came through the Maribor's youth academy, before settling on their first team and was signed by Nacional in 2010. Mihelič made a debut for Slovenia when he was 19 years, one month and 17 days old, which makes him the youngest player ever to play for the national team.[1]

On 8 February 2013, Bulgarian side Levski Sofia confirmed Mihelič had joined on loan until the end of the season, with the option of making the move permanent. He made his official A PFG debut for Levski Sofia on 17 March 2013, after coming on as a substitute in the 0–0 home draw with Montana. Mihelič scored his first goal in his first appearance as a starter for Levski Sofia, netting the equalizer in the 1–1 away draw with PFC Cherno More Varna on 30 March 2013.[2]

Mihelič returned to Slovenia in October 2013, when he joined Zavrč.[3]

On 25 January 2014, Mihelič was signed by Hungarian League club Debrecen.[4] On 22 July 2014, Mihelič scored his first goal in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League qualifying round against Cliftonville at the Nagyerdei Stadion.[5]

On 27 July 2017, Mihelič joined Indian Super League franchise Chennaiyin on a free transfer after his contract with Latvian club Riga expired.[6] He played a crucial role in the campaign, scoring two goals in fourteen appearances, with his side winning the league. On 11 August 2018, he switched to fellow league club Delhi Dynamos FC on a one-year deal.[7]
