Club career

Vrgoč started his career playing at youth level for his hometown club Osijek. He was loaned to Druga HNL side Slavonac CO for the 2008–09 season and helped them secure a promotion spot to the Prva HNL. However, after they were unable to find a suitable ground for hosting matches, Slavonac CO were demoted to first county league. In September 2009, Vrgoč sustained a cruciate ligament injury during the preparations for the upcoming season. He underwent three surgeries during the period of one year and missed out 2009–10 season.[1][2] Manager Branko Karačić, who previously coached Vrgoč in Slavonac CO, included him in the team that underwent mid-season preparations in Turkey for the second part of the 2010–11 season.[3][4] He made his debut for the first team in a goalless draw against Lokomotiva on 25 February 2011.[5]
