Vicko Ševelj (born 19 September 2000) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.
Ševelj was born in Dubrovnik, living in its suburb of Mokošica, [1] and played youth football for several local clubs before passing a trial with HNK Hajduk Split in 2015, moving to the club's youth academy in the summer of 2016. [2] A versatile defensive player, Ševelj advanced to the club's second-tier reserve team in 2018, where he would amass 42 caps and 1 goal in three seasons, largely playing as right back. [2]
In April 2021, Ševelj made his first team debut, coming in for Dino Skorup against NK Slaven Belupo in the 60th minute, after the injury of first-choice right back Darko Todorović. [3] His contract expired that summer, however, and he moved on to the Bosnian FK Sarajevo, joining former Hajduk reserve team coach Goran Sablić. [4]
Not finding much playing time at Sarajevo, Ševelj moved to the Russian club Akron Tolyatti on loan in early 2022, returning after two months without any official caps [5] His subsequent loan to the Slovenian side NK Radomlje [5] would be more fruitful, however, as he became a first-team regular and was retained by the club, Sarajevo keeping a percentage of a potential future sale. [6]
On 19 June 2024, Ševelj signed a two-year contract with Scottish Premiership club Dundee United. [7]
