Ante Rebić marked his senior debut for RNK Split on 21 May 2011 with a decisive late equalizer against Dinamo Zagreb. This performance in the final round of the 2010–11 Prva HNL initiated a professional career that saw him transition through high-profile clubs in Italy, Germany, and beyond while maintaining his role as a key Croatian international.
Early Career and RNK Split
Born in 1993 in Split, Rebić developed through the youth ranks at Vinjani and later Imotski starting in 2008. Following a successful youth tournament in Italy with Hajduk Split in 2010, Darko Butorović facilitated his move to RNK Split. By August 2011, he secured a three-year professional contract, eventually scoring 10 goals in 29 appearances during the 2012–13 season.
