Danijel Cesarec (born 8 January 1983) is a Croatian retired footballer.

Club career

NK Marsonia

Cesarec started his career in NK Marsonia. He played there 2 years (2000-2002), making 40 appearances and scoring 6 league goals. This good season was a result of a big interest from foreign clubs.

Sparta Prague

In 2002, Daniel joined Czech major club AC Sparta Prague. In Prague he made only 3 league appearances, and his dream never became true. Then, Sparta sent him loan at 1. FK Příbram. There, he made 23 league appearances, scoring 3 goals. After Příbram, Sparta Prague sent him (again) on loan at Akratitos F.C. In Akratitos, he had a fine season, with 24 performances and 10 goals.

Greece

Egaleo

Cesarec spent 2005–2007 years in Egaleo F.C. He had full seasons in Aigaleo, with a total of 40 appearances and only 5 goals. However, many Greek teams are interested to sign Cesarec.

Asteras Trpolis

Cesarec had his best time of his career in Tripoli, Greece. He joined Asteras Tripolis in 2007 summer. He stayed there for 3 years with fine seasons. His statistics with blue-yellow jersey are 72 performances and 26 goals. He was expert for heading and penalty-taking. He is the club's top goalscorer ever in Super League Greece. He was one of the most successful forwards these years.

Aris

His good form with Asteras led to him signing for Greek side Aris, but Cesarec was affected by injury and made only 30 appearances for Aris, scoring 5 goals (although three of these were in the UEFA Europa League, marking Cesarec's best goal return in European competition to date). In the 2011-2012 season, he made two league appearances, scoring in both games, against Panionios and Panathinaikos.
