Goran Rubil (born 9 March 1981) is a Croatian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Career

Rubil started his career in his hometown club Marsonia Slavonski Brod. At the age of 17 he moved to France to play for FC Nantes, where he remained until the end of the 2004–05 season. During his time at Nantes he played only ten league matches for the club, but was a regular in the Croatian U19 and U21 sides. He spent the 2003–04 season on loan with Stade Lavallois where he had eight appearances and scored one goal. He acquired French nationality by naturalization on 1 August 2005.[1]

In mid-2005 he signed for the J2 League team Shonan Bellmare. In early 2006 he moved back to Croatia to join HNK Rijeka, where he stayed until the mutual termination of his contract in December of the same year. Several clubs, both in Croatia and abroad showed interest. He went to England on trial for Leeds United, and looked set to sign for them, but apparently got tired of waiting, and returned to Croatia to sign a 3.5-year contract for Hajduk Split.
