Club career

Dražić was born in Novi Travnik. He played for Solin, Hajduk Split, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Šibenik and Rot-Weiß Oberhausen.^[2]

International career

Dražić made his debut for the Croatia national team in an October 1990 friendly match against the United States and has earned a total of two caps, scoring no goals. His second and final international was a June 1991 friendly away against Slovenia.^[3] Since Croatia was still officially part of Yugoslavia at the time, both games were unofficial.

Managerial career

Dražić became the coach of NK GOŠK Gabela in 2011 but resigned after he was selected as assistant manager of Iran Pro League side Mes Kerman by Miroslav Blažević. After about one year working with Mes Kerman's staff, he began his work with Damash as an assistant manager. It was not the first time that one of Amir Abedini's teams used his services because Dražić's professional career in coaching started with Abedini.^[4]
