Club career

Ožbolt began his career at Domžale and spent loan spell at Borussia Dortmund II, before joining Austrian club TSV Hartberg on a permanent basis in early 2018. However, he left Hartberg at the end of the 2017–18 season and joined Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv as a free agent.

He ended his debut season for Lokomotiv with 8 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions.

gollark: You can get *some* idea based on whether it works in MMA.
gollark: <@665664987578236961> I think people's problem with it is more that quality of instruction can vary a lot, there is often not good sparring with resistance, there's a lack of competitions, it hasn't demonstrated that it works consistently in MMA competitions, there's an overemphasis on "deadly" techniques and aggressiveness, and that you can't really reliably defend against knives, multiple people or guns.
gollark: Also apparently a gecko expert.
gollark: Oh, *that*. We created that back in 2074 for precisely this sort of scenario.
