Horvat made his Slovenian PrvaLiga debut for Mura on 21 July 2018 in a match against Triglav Kranj. [3] On 25 November 2021, Horvat opened the scoring for Mura in a stunning 2–1 upset of Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League. [4] [5] He would finish the 2021–22 season with 11 goals and 10 assists in all competitions and was voted the Best Young Player in the Slovenian PrvaLiga. [6]

Sturm Graz

On 2 June 2022, it was announced that Horvat would join Austrian club Sturm Graz on a three-year deal on 1 July 2022. [6] In the semi-final match of the Austrian Cup against LASK on 6 April 2023, Horvat scored a memorable goal from outside the box to send Sturm Graz to the final. [7] [8] [9] Sturm Graz would go on to beat Rapid Wien in the final on 30 April 2023. [9] [10]

In the Austrian Cup final the following year, Horvat would score the winning goal as Sturm Graz again defeated Rapid Wien. [11] He was also part of the Sturm Graz side that won the Austrian Bundesliga during the 2023–24 season. Sturm Graz became the first new club in eleven years to win the league title, following Red Bull Salzburg's dominance of the league. [12] It was the club's fourth league title in its history and the first championship since the 2010–11 season. [12]

International career

Horvat made his debut for Slovenia on 29 March 2022 in a friendly match against Qatar, coming on as a 87th-minute substitute for Petar Stojanović. [13] In June 2024, he was included in Slovenia's squad for UEFA Euro 2024, [14] but was an unused substitute in all four of Slovenia's matches at the tournament.
