Gabrijel Boban (born 23 July 1989) is a Croatian football player who plays for Osijek in the Croatian First Football League.

Career

Born in Požega, Boban went through the ranks of the nearby former Croatian First Football League team Kamen Ingrad. He debuted for the first team in the 2007–08 season, while Kamen were competing in the second league. As the team was relegated, he left the club and joined another third tier club, Virovitica.

He returned to Druga HNL quickly, however, playing three seasons at Vinogradar. In the 2011–12 season, he scored four goals in 24 appearances. In the 2012–13 season he played for Pomorac. At Pomorac, Boban was a mainstay in the starting lineup and added eight goals to his tally that season.

The impressive season earned him a move to the newly relegated NK Zagreb in the summer of 2013. He helped Zagreb return to the Prva HNL by scoring 18 goals during the season, trailing only behind Inter Zaprešić's Ilija Nestorovski (20 goals) in the league's overall rankings.[1] He made his Prva HNL debut three days short of his 25th birthday, scoring in the 1–3 loss against Rijeka, repeating the feat a week later in his second top tier match, against Slaven Belupo.[2] He finished his first season in top tier with 13 goals, the fourth highest total in the league.

Personal life

Boban's family originates from Sovići in Herzegovina, and he is a distant cousin of Croatia international Zvonimir Boban.
