Michele Šego (Croatian pronunciation: [mikêːle ʃêːɡo]; born 5 August 2000) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a forward or left winger for Croatian Football League club Hajduk Split.[2]
Career
Early career
Šego started playing football in the local minnows' NK Omladinac Vranjic' football school. After spending five years in the youth ranks of Adriatic Split, he was hailed as the biggest talent in the club, netting over 50 goals every season. He eventually joined the Croatian national U15 team, before moving on to the Hajduk Split academy at the age of 16.[3]
Hajduk Split and loans
After a quality display in the first half of the season with Hajduk's reserve team, he got called up for their senior team's League match against Cibalia that took place on 11 February 2018. He scored his first goal for Hajduk's official senior squad match against Istra 1961 on 9 May 2018, netting a volley in a 5–1 victory.
In January 2020, Šego was loaned for until the summer of 2020 to Slaven Belupo.[4] Returning at the end of the season, he was loaned out again in August 2020, this time to Bravo in the Slovenian PrvaLiga for the 2020–21 season.[5]
Varaždin
In summer 2021, he was loaned to Varaždin, who activated a buy-out clause at the end of the season. Šego stayed in Varaždin for four years, playing more than 100 matches for the club, mainly as a left winger.
Return to Hajduk
In January 2025, he returned to Hajduk Split for the transfer fee of €600,000. He started to play on the left wing, with Marko Livaja being the striker. However, after the arrival of Ante Rebić and due to Livaja's poor form, Šego has been used as a center forward, scoring four goals in six matches in this position.
