Silvije Begić (born 3 June 1993) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ural Yekaterinburg in Russia.

Club career[edit]

A native of the border town Posušje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Begić spent most of his formative years at the local NK Posušje, before moving just across the border to NK Imotski. He remained there for two seasons at U17 and U19 levels, playing alongside future RNK Split player Ante Majstorović, before returning to his home town where he made his senior debut. In the summer of 2012, he returned to Croatian football by joining the freshly promoted Treća HNL Jug side Kamen Ivanbegovina. He established himself as a first team player there immediately, and his games earned him a move up to the Druga HNL and NK Rudeš in Zagreb, one of his first games being a cup match against his former team Kamen.[1]

The young defender established himself as a first team player there in the 2014/2015 season, making his name by scoring a goal where he reportedly "brought a high ball down to his feet, dribbled past three or four players, reached the goalkeeper and calmly scored".[2] His games overall were noted by that season's Druga HNL champions NK Inter Zaprešić, and he joined them in the summer of 2015, following their promotion to the Prva HNL.[citation needed]

The start of the season saw him as a back-up for the young Josip Filipović, and he made his Prva HNL debut in the 4th round of the 2015/16 season as a starter in the 8 August 2015 away goalless draw with NK Istra 1961.[3] After establishing himself as a first-team regular, he scored his first Prva HNL goal in the 13th round, in a 1-1 draw with RNK Split, scoring the leading goal in the 78th minute of the match.[4]

In August 2017, he moved to the second-tier Russian National Football League club FC Orenburg. The club was promoted to the Russian Premier League for the 2018–19 season.[citation needed]

On 29 June 2019, he signed a 4-year contract with another Russian team FC Rubin Kazan.[5] Shortly after signing, he suffered an injury and did not make any appearances for Rubin in the 2019–20 season.[6]

On 3 September 2021, Begić joined Krylia Sovetov Samara on loan for the 2021–22 season.[7] Begić had started each of Rubin's first seven matches in all competitions, but the introduction of Montassar Talbi to the squad left him expendable. On 2 February 2022, Rubin terminated the loan early.[8] On 7 March 2022, FIFA announced that foreign players in Russia would be able to unilaterally suspend their contracts with their clubs until 30 June 2022 and sign with a club outside of Russia until the same date.[9] On 26 March 2022, Begić suspended his contract with Rubin under those regulations.[10]

On 8 September 2022, Begić signed with Ural Yekaterinburg in the Russian Premier League.[11] On 19 January 2024, he extended his contract with Ural.[12]
