Milan on 9 August 2000,[2] and was one of the key figures in Dinamo's squad in the upcoming seasons. Dinamo loaned Dino to Karlsruher SC in 2008–09 winter transfer window following a scandal in which it was revealed that he and his Playboy model wife Nives Celzijus had sex on the grass at Dinamo's ground.[3] He was signed permanently during the season and was released on 22 April 2010.[4] After Karlsruhe, Drpić had brief spells with AEK Athens in Greece and Volyn Lutsk in Ukraine before returning to Croatia in March 2012, signing for HNK Rijeka.[5]

In January 2013, he signed with Brunei DPMM FC[6] as one of their foreign players for the 2013 S.League season.[7]
