==Career==
His first top level appearances came in 2007: he ran at the Nedbank half marathon in Bloemfontein in April, coming seventh with a time of 1:03:51,〔(Results April 2007 ). Africathle. Retrieved on 2010-10-18.〕 and then in October he entered into his first marathon race, the Dublin Marathon, and managed to finish in third place with a time of 2:11:08.〔(Russians claim repeat Dublin wins ). BBC Sport (2007-10-29). Retrieved on 2010-10-18.〕 He competed in the United States for the first time the following year and his run of 2:14:20 was enough for second place behind Michael Aish at the Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon.〔Rosenthal, Bert (2008-01-14). (Aish, Zekiros take Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon wins ). IAAF. Retrieved on 2010-10-18.〕 The Kosice Peace Marathon was the venue for his third outing over the distance that October, and he seized control of the race, outrunning even the official pacemaker (David Makori). He completed his first win over the distance in a personal best time of 2:10:51 and became only the third Ethiopian to win the men's race, breaking an almost forty-year dry spell since Abebe Bikila and Demissie Wolde's wins in the 1960s.〔Juck, Alfons (2008-10-05).

His performance at the Seoul International Marathon in 2009 gave Dejene a number of scalps over quicker, more established runners. Knocking almost two and a half minutes of his personal best, Dejene was the only athlete to pursue the eventual winner Moses Arusei. Finishing as the runner-up with a time of 2:08:30, he had beaten pre-race favourites Jason Mbote and Paul Biwott by a margin of two minutes.〔Jalava, Mirko (2009-03-15). (Arusei takes first major win in 2:07:54; Tola upsets Chinese favourites in 2:25:37 - Seoul Int. Marathon ). IAAF. Retrieved on 2010-10-18.〕 He was selected for the Ethiopian men's marathon team at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, earning his first major national selection at the age of 30. He finished in 15th place as the third fastest Ethiopian in 2:15:09, a time which (alongside Tsegay Kebede and Yemane Tsegay) helped Ethiopia to the team silver medal as part of the Marathon World Cup section of the race.〔(2009 World Championships Official World Cup Results Marathon - M ).
