Niko Peraić (born 21 September 1988 in Polača) is a retired Croatian football defender, who last played for NK Polača.
Peraić made his first team debut for Hajduk Split in the Prva HNL in May 2007, coming off the bench and scoring in a 2-2 draw with Rijeka, making him one of the youngest players to score for the club in a Croatian league match, at the age of 19 years, 2 months and 3 days.[1] [2] He would feature in four further matches in 2007, before being released by the club. A short spell at Junak followed, before joining the third-tier Raštane, then at its peak.[3] Peraić would play in the top tier in late 2010, on a loan at Zadar, but after returning to Raštane in early 2011, he suffered head injuries in a car crash, together with teammate Šime Čirjak,[4] resulting in a lengthy recuperation period.[5] Subsequently, he joined his local club HNK Polača, where he would play his last games in 2015.
