Fiorici said, "I have signed a two-year deal with Zim Tigers and will join the team training on January 3rd. I am eager to leave a longer footprint there beyond the limits of this contract."
The 27-year-old Croatian midfielder, the pride of Dinamo Zagreb's youth academy, has had a career that has taken him to clubs such as Dinamo Zagreb, Lokomotiv Zagreb, Henck, Larnaca, and Krakowija.In the summer of 2021, Fiorellovic joined Osijek as a free agent. This season, he has made 15 appearances for Osijek, contributing two goals and one assist. He is currently valued at €850,000 on the market.
It's worth noting that Fioric has never been able to play for the adult national team, despite having been a part of the Croatian national team at the U21 level and below.
