Dejan Kelhar (born 5 April 1984) is a Slovenian former professional footballer who played as a defender.
Kelhar started playing football with Brežice,[ citation needed ] until he moved to Celje. He played there for two seasons in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, the top level of Slovenian football. At the same time he also played for the Slovenian Second League side Krško, because the Football Association of Slovenia regulations allowed to register youth players for two clubs from different league levels.
In 2006, Kelhar transferred to the 2. Bundesliga side SpVgg Greuther Fürth for an alleged transfer fee of €100,000. His transfer was not a big success and he returned to Celje. On 31 January 2009, the last day before the closing of the winter transfer window, Kelhar signed a contract with Cercle Brugge.
In February 2011, he joined Legia Warszawa on two and a half year contract. [1]
In July 2012, Kelhar joined Gabala of the Azerbaijan Premier League on a two-year contract. [2] [3] Kelhar's debut came on 4 August 2012 against Simurq in a game that also saw him score his first goal for the club after 15 minutes. [4] Kelhar went on to play in 28 league and three Cup games for Gabala in his first season. Kelhar appeared seven times for Gabala in his second season before leaving in December 2013. [5] [6]
At the start of February 2014, Kelhar signed a six-month contract, with the option of another year, with Red Star Belgrade. [7]
On 6 August 2014, Kelhar signed a short-term contract with English Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. [8] [9] Kelhar was released by Sheffield Wednesday at the end of the 2014–15 season, having not made an appearance for the club. [10]
Kelhar made his debut for Slovenia in a friendly match against Qatar on 3 March 2010. [11] His final international was a September 2013 World Cup qualification match against Albania. [12]
