Club career
editPeraić made his first team debut for Hajduk Split in the Prva HNL in May 2007, coming off the bench and scoring in a 2-2 draw with Rijeka, making him one of the youngest players to score for the club in a Croatian league match, at the age of 19 years, 2 months and 3 days.[1][2] He would feature in four further matches in 2007, before being released by the club. A short spell at Junak followed, before joining the third-tier Raštane, then at its peak.[3] Peraić would play in the top tier in late 2010, on a loan at Zadar, but after returning to Raštane in early 2011, he suffered head injuries in a car crash, together with teammate Šime Čirjak,[4] resulting in a lengthy recuperation period.[5] Subsequently, he joined his local club HNK Polača, where he would play his last games in 2015.
