Lavrič started playing football for domestic Rudar Trbovlje and moved as young man to Rudar Velenje. Hajduk Split was the first club outside of Slovenia for which he played, followed by Inter Zaprešić in Croatia. After this, Lavrič moved to German club Dynamo Dresden.

In the match against Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Lavrič scored in 66th minute a goal with a bicycle kick which was later voted as Goal of the Year in 2004 in Germany. In summer 2005, Lavrič joined Bundesliga MSV Duisburg. In 2005–06 season he scored six goals in 22 matches, but nevertheless Duisburg was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. In the 2006–07 season, Lavrič scored 12 goals and was second team's leading scorer and sixth scorer in the second league. Duisburg was promoted again in the following season to the Bundesliga, but Lavrič received little opportunity for play and eventually also lost his place in the Slovenian national team.
