Thirty-year-old left-sided defender Tomas has been in the Croatia set-up since 1998, having made his international debut in April of that year against Poland. Played in all three games at the 2002 World Cup finals but then had to settle for a back-up role at Euro 2004, failing to make it on to the pitch at all. Moved to Italy in the summer of 2000 to join Vicenza, while he also had a stint in Serie B with Como. Now plays his club football in Turkey with Galatasaray and helped them regain the league title this season.
