Croatian opposite Petar Đirlić has joined Bursa Büyükşehir Belediyespor ahead of the 2025–2026 season.
Previously playing for Italian side Lube Volley Civitanova, the 2.05-meter-tall attacker brings a wealth of experience. After starting his career in Croatia with Kaštela, Petar Đirlić went on to play in Slovenia for ACH Volley, and then made a name for himself in Italy with clubs like Cisterna, Milano, and the prestigious Cucine Lube Civitanova. He also had a short spell in Qatar with Police SC. He is a standard member of the Croatian national team.
The Turkish club, looking to bounce back after an early end to their last season, hopes Dirlić will be a key figure in their comeback campaign.
