Club career
editHajduk Split
editJozinović made his Hajduk debut on 29 September 2007, just 17 years of age in a Prva HNL match against Šibenik. He made 10 further appearances in the 07/08 season, showing much potential. The following season, Goran struggling for playing time, making just two appearances in the first half of the season and so went out on loan to NK Zadar for the remainder of the season. He spent the first six months of the 09/10 season at Zadar, too, a regular starter at left back in the year he spent in total with the club. Upon his return to Hajduk in January 2010, his stature at the club improved following his successful loan spell and he achieved more playing time. In this season he was also a regular for the Croatian under 21 side. He made 26 appearances for Hajduk in the 2010/11 season, his first full season for the club as an established first team member. An injury in the following off season meant that devastatingly Jozinovic missed almost the entire 11/12 season, returning in round 25 and making just three appearances that season. After recovering from his injury and having a full pre-season under his belt, Jozinovic went into the 12/13 season with big ambitions and had a good season, making 25 appearances, scoring a goal against rivals Dinamo Zagreb and even captained the side on two occasions. He was given the Heart of Hajduk Award at the end of this season, a sign of his strong contribution in that campaign. The next season, Goran made 35 appearances for Hajduk, including his 100th in total for Hajduk. In the 2014/2015 season he found himself being used less and less by the club, and was given free hands to look for a new club at mid-season. However, he remained at the club and was reinstated in the first team by the newly reappointed manager Stanko Poklepović.[2] His contract wasn't renewed, however, and he played his last game for Hajduk against RNK Split on 29 May 2015, leaving his beloved club[3] on good terms, admitting he had his ups and downs, but stating he had always given his maximum.[3]
