Josip Colina (
Club career
Colina started his youth football with Nordstern Basel but moved at an early age to the youth department of FC Basel. In summer 1998 he advanced to their reserve team (U-21) and, toward the end of their 1998–99 FC Basel season, he was used by first team head coach Marco Schällibaum as substitute. Colina's debut came on 30 May 1999, as he came on in the 73rd minute in the away game as Basel played a 1–1 draw with Xamax.[1]
The following season Colina played solely for the FCB reserve team and, therefore, for the 2000-01 season he was loaned out to
On 6 December 2001 it was announced that Colina had signed a three-and-half year contract with
On 2 July 2007, Colina signed a contract with Swiss Super League club Grasshopper Club. In his first season with GC, he had not only 19 appearances with their first team, but he also aided in their reserve team. Then, as of the 2008–09 league season, Colina was regular starter for their first team. On 6 March 2010 he scored his first Super League goal and, somewhat ironically, it was against his club of origin in the St. Jakob-Park. It was the first goal of the game, just 135 seconds after the kick-off, as GC won 2–1 against FC Basel.[4]
It was announced on 23 August 2011, that Colina had signed a one-year loan contract with lower tier club Lugano and at the end of the 2011–12 Challenge League season, Colina retired from his active football career.[5]
Private life
Since May 2014 Colina works as Senior financial controller for IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel). Since January 2014 he works as a scout for FC Basel.[6]
