Luka Glavas (Croatian: Luka Glavaš; born 20 January 1985) is a former Australian footballer.

Biography

Luka Glavas played for Hurstville Zagreb from 2003 to 2004, Melbourne Knights from 2004 to 2005 and Sydney United from 2005 to 2006. In the 2006 NSW Premier League Grand Final against Blacktown City Demons, Glavas scored all four goals in a 4–0 win for Sydney United.

Glavas then joined Perth Glory in mid-2006. Glavas scored his first ever A-League goal against Sydney FC on 29 October 2006. However, he was generally disappointing during his time at Perth Glory. At the end of the 2006–2007 A-League season, Perth advised Glavas that he was one of five players to be released by the club.[1]

On 13 February 2007, Sydney FC announced Glavas had signed with the club and was included in the squad for the AFC Champions League 2007.[2]

Glavas was released by Sydney at the completion of their ACL campaign and signed with Heidelberg United in the Victorian Premier League.[3]

In 2008 Glavas returned to Sydney United and returned to goalscoring form in the NSW Premier League. Glavas was Sydney United's top goalscorer in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.[4]

The talismanic striker retired on 24 August 2014, playing his last match against Sutherland Sharks in the last round of the 2014 National Premier Leagues NSW.[5]
