Ognjen Vranješ (Serbian Cyrillic: Огњен Врањеш; born 24 October 1989) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a centre back or as a right back for FC Tom Tomsk and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

Club career

Vranješ has played for Borac Banja Luka in the Bosnian Premier League before moving to Red Star Belgrade in Serbia. After struggling to establish himself in the first team of Red Star, he first went on loan to Napredak Kruševac and then to Sheriff from Moldova in the 2010–11 season. He caused some controversy when he celebrated Sheriff eliminating Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb in the qualification for the Champions League, wearing a Red Star shirt.[2]

On 12 January 2011, Vranješ signed a three-and-a-half year contract for Krasnodar in the Russian First Division.[3]

On 12 December 2012, he signed a three-year contract with Alania Vadikavkaz.[4] In May 2013, he suffered an injury which kept him off the pitch for almost 8 months.[5]

After he returned to the pitch, he signed a contract with Turkish side Elazığspor in January 2014.[6]

On 2 February 2015, he signed for Turkish club Gaziantepspor.[7] On 25 January 2016, his contract was mutually terminated.[8]

On 26 January 2016, he signed for Spanish club Sporting Gijón until the end of season.[9] His contract had an option for another season if Sporting didn't get relegated and he played 50% of minutes.[10][11] However, on 23 August 2016 he mutually agreed to rescind his contract with the club.

On 25 August 2016, he returned to Russia, signing a two-year contract with FC Tom Tomsk.[12]

International career

He was a part of the Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 for several years. In August 2010, coach of the senior team, Safet Sušić decided to give Vranješ his debut and included him in the squad to meet Luxembourg and France in the first matches for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying.[13]

Vranješ had to wait until November to get his debut, when he started in a friendly match against Slovakia.[14]

Sušić included Vranješ in his team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. After being on the bench in the first two group games, he made his World Cup debut in the match against Iran, where he played the last 30 minutes.[15]

Personal life

Ognjen has an older brother, Stojan Vranješ, who is also a footballer.
