Davor Špehar (born 9 February 1988) is a retired Croatian football player.

Career

Špehar started his career in the Dinamo Zagreb academy, a constant fixture of Croatia U-17 and Croatia U-19 teams between 2003 and 2007.^[1] While he was still eligible to play for the U-19 team, he was sent on loan to NK Bjelovar in the Druga HNL. Dinamo did not sign a professional contract with him, however, so he moved, aged 19, to the Druga HNL side NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac. He remained at the club for the following 7 seasons, playing mostly at the center-back position, including their 10/11 and 13/14 Prva HNL bouts. During the latter, he achieved a feat unique for the league - scoring 2 goals (his only goals of the season) and an own goal in the 2-2 match against RNK Split.^[2]

In the summer of 2014, following Dragovoljac's relegation, he joined NK Osijek. After a season at the club, Špehar moved on to the second-tier NK Lučko, followed by a year at the third-tier NK Vinogradar and one more at fourth-tier Sesvetski Kraljevec before retiring from football at the end of 2017.^[3]
