The golden years of his career may be behind him, but Marko Drevenšek still perseveres on Slovenian football fields. In the 2024/25 season, he certainly cannot complain about his form. The 37-year-old midfielder from Hajdina, who is competing in the 3. SNL East for only the second consecutive year (having finished seventh last season), even leads the standings and is the top scorer of the competition.
Marko Drevenšek shone last weekend when Hajdina defeated Celje Šampion 3:2 away in front of 50 spectators. At Olimp, Marko Drevenšek scored two goals for his team: the first in the 41st minute, increasing Hajdina’s lead to 2:0, and the second in the 79th minute, when he converted a penalty to secure all three points.
In this season, Marko Drevenšek has played 7 matches and scored 6 goals, achieving the third-best scoring tally of his senior career. His best season was in 2009/10, when he was still a member of Domžale and scored 8 goals for the yellow family. Marko Drevenšek, who was also a youth international for Slovenia, has played 225 matches and scored 28 goals in the Prva liga Telemach. Throughout his career, he has also played for Maribor, followed by Drava from Ptuj, the aforementioned Domžale, and Aluminij.
Additionally, the veteran has proven himself in neighboring Austria, where he scored 20 goals in 153 matches in the lower leagues.
