Mate Bilić (born 23 October 1980) is a Croatian retired footballer who played as a striker. During his professional career he played mainly in Spain – where he arrived at the age of 21 – representing five different clubs. He amassed La Liga totals of 124 games and 22 goals over the course of five seasons in representation of Sporting de Gijón and Zaragoza, adding 197/66 in Segunda División. ==Club career== Born in Split, Croatia, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Bilić began his professional career in 1997 at hometown club HNK Hajduk Split, and went on to establish himself as a regular during the 1999–2000 season, after a season-long loan spell with NK Mosor in the Croatian second division. In two separate campaigns he scored 15 league goals for Hajduk, including nine in 2000–01 as the side won its fourth national championship title. At the end of August 2001 Bilić transferred to La Liga with Real Zaragoza, but failed to impress as he only netted once in 18 league appearances. Between 2002 and 2006 he would represent, one season each, UD Almería, Sporting de Gijón, Córdoba CF and UE Lleida (all clubs playing in the second level). In June 2006, Bilić signed with Austrian Bundesliga's SK Rapid Wien. However, in January 2008, he returned to Spain and Gijón, helping the Asturian team return to the top flight after a ten-year absence by scoring ten times, in spite of playing in roughly only half of the games.〔(El Sporting regresa a la élite (Sporting returns to the elite) ); El Mundo Deportivo, 16 June 2008 〕 On 13 September 2008 Bilić scored a sour hat-trick at Sevilla FC, as Sporting was eventually downed 3–4.〔(Sevilla FC 4–3 Sporting Gijon ); ESPN Soccernet, 13 September 2008〕 During the campaign he again formed an effective offensive partnership with David Barral, with the pair combining 22 league goals for an eventual retaining of the club's league status; in the following years he was much more sparingly used, only netting one official goal in the 2010–11 campaign, in the Copa del Rey against RCD Mallorca (2–2 home draw, 3–5 aggregate loss).〔(Nsue domeña el sueño copero del Sporting (Nsue takes over Sporting cup dream) ); Marca, 11 November 2010 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mate Bilić」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
