Tomislav "Tomi" Juric ([ˈtoːˈměː ˈjuˈritɕ]; born 22 July 1991) is an Australian professional football (soccer) player, who plays as a striker for FC Luzern in the Swiss Super League.
On 10 February 2013, after spending a number of seasons abroad in Croatia playing for NK Lokomotiva and NK Inter Zaprešić in the Prva HNL, Juric signed a short term contract to play for Australian club Adelaide United in the A-League. On 16 February 2013, Juric scored on his Adelaide United debut in a 2–1 defeat at Sydney FC.
On 20 May 2013 Juric signed for Western Sydney Wanderers on a two-year deal, becoming the Wanderers first signing of the A-League off-season. On debut for the Wanderers he scored the equaliser against the Central Coast Mariners in the 1–1 draw on 12 of October 2013. Juric scored his first Asian Champions League goal in the Round of 16 against Sanfrecce Hiroshima on 7 May 2014. In a highly successful first season at Western Sydney, Tomi Juric finished with 12 goals in 29 appearances, four of those coming in the 2014 Asian Champions League which his side won, Juric scoring, an amazing goal, the only goal in a 1–0 aggregate win over the Arabian team Al-Hilal.
On 15 January 2015, Juric turned his back on a proposed $10 million move to Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, opting to chase a move to Europe, where he believed he would have a better chance of staying involved with the Socceroos beyond the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
