Rene Mihelič (born 5 July 1988) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for USV Hengsberg.

Club career

Mihelič came through NK Maribor's youth academy, before making his senior team debut in September 2005. [2] In 2010 he was signed by the Portuguese team Nacional. [3]

On 8 February 2013, Bulgarian side Levski Sofia confirmed Mihelič had joined on loan until the end of the season, with the option of making the move permanent. He made his official A PFG debut for Levski Sofia on 17 March 2013, after coming on as a substitute in the 0–0 home draw with Montana. Mihelič scored his first goal in his first appearance as a starter for Levski Sofia, netting the equalizer in the 1–1 away draw with PFC Cherno More Varna on 30 March 2013. [4]

Mihelič returned to Slovenia in October 2013, when he joined Zavrč. [5]

On 25 January 2014, Mihelič was signed by Hungarian League club Debrecen. [6] On 22 July 2014, Mihelič scored his first goal in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League qualifying round against Cliftonville at the Nagyerdei Stadion. [7]

On 27 July 2017, Mihelič joined Indian Super League franchise Chennaiyin FC on a free transfer after his contract with Latvian club Riga expired. [8] He scored two goals in fourteen appearances and won the league title with his team. On 11 August 2018, he joined fellow league club Delhi Dynamos FC on a one-year deal. [9]

International career

Between 2006 and 2010, Mihelič represented Slovenia in all youth categories from under-18 to under-21. [10] In August 2007, he made his debut for the senior team when he was 19 years, 1 month and 17 days old, which was a record for the youngest player ever to play for the national team at the time, before the record was broken by Petar Stojanović in 2014. [11]
