Josip Čondrić (born 27 August 1993) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Kazakhstan Premier League club Astana.[1]

Club career

Čondrić, hailing from Zagreb's Rudeš neighborhood, started playing football at the local club NK Rudeš,[2] but moved between several other Zagreb-area clubs during his youth years.

He started his career on the sidelines, as third-choice at HAŠK Zagreb and, since 2013, NK Zagreb, behind Dominik Livaković and Jakša Herceg. In 2014, he was released to fourth-tier NK Trešnjevka, but returned to NK Zagreb that summer, only to be loaned on to second-tier NK Bistra. In 2015, Čondrić returned yet again to NK Zagreb, again third-choice behind Livaković and Herceg, making his Prva HNL debut in the 2-3 home loss to HNK Hajduk Split, in the last game of the season.,[3][4] making some key saves.[5]

Following NK Zagreb's relegation,[6] Čondrić became the first-choice goalkeeper in the Druga HNL, but due to the club's problems[7] he moved to his old club, NK Rudeš, in the same league, as back-up for Krunoslav Hendija. Rudeš achieved promotion, and, following Hendija's departure for NK Lokomotiva, Čondrić came ahead of Dominik Picak and took the first-team spot,[8] which he kept until the end of the season, being hailed as the hero of the club's home 1-0 win against subsequent champions GNK Dinamo Zagreb in May 2018.[9]

In the summer of 2018, Čondrić moved to NK Istra 1961.,[10] sharing time in the first 11 with Ioritz Landeta[11] After having made 58 league appearances for Istra 1961, Čondrić left the club in August 2020.[12]

On 28 August 2020, he signed with Russian Premier League club FC Rotor Volgograd.[13]
