Biography
Lovre Kalinić
Player #925 for Aston Villa, Lovre Kalinić, played as a goalkeeper for the club in the 2018-19 season.
Kalinić was the 100th custodian of the Villa goal in professional football.
Lovre was born in Split, Croatia, on 3 April 1990
Villa had signed Lovre from KAA Gent for a fee of £5,400,000 in January 2019.
Kalinić went on to make 7 League and 1 FA Cup appearances for Villa in his debut season.
Over those games, Kalinić conceded 15 goals at a ratio of 1.88 goals per game, during which Villa lost 4, drew 3 and won 1.
Those figures placed Kalinić’s performance well behind Villa’s other keepers (Ørjan Nyland 1.47, Jed Steer 1.00), and by mid-February, he lost his place in the Villa first team and failed to regain it during Villa’s promotion run-in.
Kalinić started the 2019-20 season as fourth-choice ‘keeper behind new signing Tom Heaton, Jed Steer and Ørjan Nyland, and it would not be until Tuesday, 17 December 2019, in the 5-0 EFL Cup win over Liverpool that he was named in a match-day squad for which he remained an unused substitute.
Kalinić would make the squad for three consecutive games in January 2020, one each in the League, FA Cup and EFL Cup, but remained unused.
Kalinić was sent out on loan to FC Toulouse from 20 January 2020 to 30 June 2020 and played no further part in Villa’s Premier League or EFL Cup campaign.
Kalinić remained with Villa for the 2020-21 season, facing even more competition in the form of new Villa number one Emiliano Martínez and Jed Steer, whilst Tom Heaton continued his recovery from long-term injury.
Kalinić could not break into the first team selection, however, as Martinez immediately hit form in goal for Villa, and Jed Steer was his de facto deputy. Kalinić did, however, make two unused substitute appearances in the EFL Cup in September and October 2020.
Villa sent Kalinic out on loan once again to HNK Hadjuk Split from 18 January 2021 to the end of the 2021-22 season and the player would never feature in a Villa squad again.
