Josip Barišić (born 14 November 1986) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Vukovar 1991 in the Treća HNL Istok.

Club career

Barišić, also known as Đozla, started his career playing at youth level for his hometown club Osijek, with whom he signed a professional five-year contract in May 2005. He made his first team debut in his team's 6-0 away loss against HNK Hajduk Split in the first round of the 2005–06 Prva HNL season.^[1] After two seasons at the club, during which he also debuted for the Croatia U20 team, he went on loan - first to the Slovenian FC Koper and then to the Druga HNL team NK Slavonac CO before returning to Osijek for three and a half further seasons. In February 2012 he signed for the Ukrainian Premier League team PFC Oleksandriya, but failed to establish himself in the first team squad and soon returned to Croatia. His next club was RNK Split in early 2013, which he left that summer, citing a lack of regular appearances as the cause, and signed again for his first club NK Osijek.^[2]
