Darko Nejašmić

Darko Nejašmić came through Hajduk Split's academy after starting out at Adriatic Split, and by the time he left the club he had made 63 senior appearances for the Split side. A loan to NK Osijek in 2021 turned permanent the following year, once Osijek exercised a purchase option reported at between €1 million and €1.25 million; he went on to make 67 appearances for the club, scoring four goals, before leaving in 2024.

That autumn he moved to the United Arab Emirates, joining Sharjah FC on a two-year contract for a fee of around €1 million. The switch paid off collectively: Sharjah won the AFC Champions League Two in the 2024–25 season, with Nejašmić among the squad, though he was named only as an unused substitute in the final against Lion City Sailors. He did get on the scoresheet earlier in the campaign, netting in the group stage against Al-Wehdat.

His stay in Sharjah lasted almost exactly a year. On 1 September 2025, NEC Nijmegen announced they had signed him on a free transfer, agreeing a two-year deal to 2027 despite his contract in the UAE still having time to run. The Dutch club confirmed it as a permanent takeover rather than a loan. Since arriving, Nejašmić has worn the number 6 shirt and making 25 appearances for the club so far.
