Ivica Mornar

Ivica Mornar (born January 12, 1974 in Split) is a Croatian football (soccer) player, currently on the books of Portsmouth.

Mornar began his career with Hajduk Split before going on to play for Eintracht Frankfurt, Sevilla, Orense and Standard Liège, then moved to Anderlecht in the summer of 2001.

Mornar had enjoyed Champions League football in the months running up to his move to Fratton Park, scoring in a 1–1 draw at home to Bayern Munich.

The player was offered a new two-year contract by Anderlecht, but opted to move across the English Channel to Portsmouth. He moved to the Premiership at the end of January 2004 for £500,000, signing a two-and-half-year deal.

Mornar made his Pompey debut in a goalless draw at home to Wolves, and looked lively. He then bagged his first and only goal in the next game against Spurs.

The striker was a regular member of the Croatia squad which qualified for the finals of Euro 2004 after beating Slovenia in the play-offs, and was named in Croatia's squad for the Euro 2004 finals in Portugal.

Seemingly out of the picture at Portsmouth, he was loaned to Stade Rennais FC for the 2004/05 season.
