Club career

A product of the Sloboda Tuzla academy, Bekić had his professional debut on 14 November 2007 playing 20 minutes in a Bosnian Premier League match against Velež Mostar.[1] However, Bekić spent the following couple of years mainly playing at youth level before finally establishing himself as a first-team regular in the 2009–10 season, in which he appeared in 24 league matches and scored 1 goal for the Bosnian side.[2]

In July 2010, Bekić was picked up by Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb for a €100.000 transfer fee.

At half-season in 2012, Bekić returned to Sloboda Tuzla, where he scored 3 goals. But after Sloboda got relegated to the First League of FBiH, Dinamo sent Bekić on a loan to GOŠK Gabela. His first games were solid, but in the spring part of the season he played even better, becoming of the best players of GOŠK. He scored 4 goals and added 5 assist.

International career

Bekić was capped for the Bosnia and Herzegovina U21 national team and made his senior debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a June 2016 friendly match away against Japan and has earned a total of 3 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was a January 2018 friendly against Mexico.[3]
