'''Marin Tomasov''' (born 31 August 1987) is a Croatian professional [[Association football|footballer]] who plays as a [[Midfielder (association football)#Winger|winger]] or an [[Midfielder (association football)#Attacking midfielder|attacking midfielder]] for [[Kazakhstan Premier League]] club [[FC Astana|Astana]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.worldfootball.net/spieler_profil/marin-tomasov/ | title = Marin Tomasov | publisher = worldfootball.net | access-date = 4 August 2012}}</ref>

==Club career==
Coming from the village of [[Dobropoljana]], on the island of [[Pašman]], Tomasov entered the youth ranks of NK Sveti Mihovil, on the neighboring island of [[Ugljan]], which represents both islands. Some years after, Tomasov was brought up through the [[NK Zadar]] youth academy and in 2006 he signed a professional contract with the senior team and was assigned the number 14 jersey. In the three seasons he spent at the club, spanning from 2006 to 2009, he made 72 appearances scoring 12 goals. His [[2008–09 Prva HNL]] season was especially impressive and Croatian giants Hajduk Split were quick to snap him up in a deal worth over 350,000 euros in the summer of 2009. At his new club he retained his jersey number of 14 which he wore at [[NK Zadar]].

===Hajduk Split===
In his first season at his new club, he found himself in and out of the starting line-up appearing 22 times in both league and cup games but only 11 of these were from the starting line-up. He managed only two goals in all of the [[2009–10 Prva HNL]] and even though he was only 20 years old at the time, he stated himself that he was disappointed with his season and will be looking to improve in the future.

His [[2010–11 Prva HNL|2010–11 season]] was just that. In the league he made 26 total appearances, 15 of which were starts and scored four goals but where he grabbed the most attention was his performances in the [[2010–11 UEFA Europa League]] where he grabbed two goals in nine games and starred throughout the competition in both the group stage games and qualifying.

Tomasov started the [[2011–12 Prva HNL]] season in exhilarating fashion scoring the winner in the opening game against [[HNK Šibenik]] in the 87th minute. His next goal came three games later when he scored the first in a 3–0 away win against [[NK Istra 1961]]. He also scored the next match in a home game against [[NK Zagreb]] where he grabbed the opener, scoring inside 50 seconds of the start of the match. He grabbed the opener again in the next match in the [[Split, Croatia|Split]] derby against [[RNK Split]] making it the third consecutive game in which he scored the opener, this time in the second minute.

===1860 München===
In July 2012, Tomasov joined [[2. Fußball-Bundesliga|German 2nd Bundesliga]] side [[TSV 1860 München]] on a three-year contract.

===Rijeka===
On 10 January 2015, Tomasov signed a {{frac|3|1|2}}-year contract with [[HNK Rijeka]] in Croatia's [[Prva HNL]].<ref>[http://www.nk-rijeka.hr/vijest/marin-tomasov-novi-igrac-rijeke/ HNK Rijeka]</ref> In his first season with the club he was prolific, netting 7 goals in 15 league appearances and one goal in three cup fixtures. He continued in the same fashion in the 2015–16 season. He scored both of Rijeka's goals in a 2–0 away win against [[RNK Split]]. He also scored from a free-kick and collected two assists in Rijeka's 3–0 away thumping of his former club, [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk Split]]. Tomasov's performances during 2015 did not go unnoticed and earned him the [[Prva HNL Player of the Year (Tportal)|Prva HNL Player of the Year]] award. He was chosen as the best player in the league by captains of all [[Croatian First Football League]] clubs.<ref>[http://www.tportal.hr/sport/prvaliga/407566/Mocinicevim-glasovima-dobili-smo-najboljeg-igraca-lige.html Tportal.hr]</ref> He finished the [[2015–16 HNK Rijeka season|2015–16 season]] with 8 league goals and 12 assists to his account (the highest in the league). He was also the top scorer in the [[2015–16 Croatian Football Cup]] with 5 goals. During the season, Tomasov did not miss a single match, collecting 43 appearances in as many competitive fixtures.

====Al-Nassr (loan)====
On 5 August 2016, Rijeka and [[Al Nassr FC|Al-Nassr]] agreed terms for Tomasov's transfer to the Saudi club, with the deal valued at €2.8 million. In the first instance, Tomasov was loaned to the Saudi club until June 2017 for a fee of €800,000. The Saudi club then had an option to buy his contract outright for the remaining €2 million.<ref>[http://radio.hrt.hr/radio-rijeka/clanak/sluzbeno-je-tomasov-odlazi-u-al-nassr/124929/ Radio Rijeka]</ref>

====Astana (loan)====
On 1 July 2017, [[FC Astana|Astana]] announced the signing of Tomasov on a year-long loan deal from Rijeka.<ref>{{cite web|title=Лучший ассистент чемпионата Хорватии подписал контракт с "Астаной"|url=http://fca.kz/rus/news/6379|website=fca.kz|publisher=FC Astana|access-date=1 July 2017|language=ru|date=1 July 2017}}</ref>

Following the end of the loan, on 4 July 2018 Tomasov was transferred from Rijeka to Astana for a fee of €500,000. In his first full season with Astana, Tomasov scored 19 goals in 47 games in all competitions, his 14 league goals helping his club to the [[2018 Kazakhstan Premier League]] title.

In the [[2019 FC Astana season]], Tomasov was again the top goalscorer for his club, with 19 league goals and 7 Europa League goals. In the Round 31 league match against [[FC Aktobe]], Tomasov scored 4 goals in 33 minutes in a 5–0 win.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rtl.hr/vijesti-hr/sport/nogomet/3588943/marin-tomasov-briljira-u-kazahstanu-u-pola-sata-zabio-4-gola-a-najbolji-je-i-strijelac-lige/|title=Marin Tomasov briljira u Kazahstanu: U pola sata zabio 4 gola, a najbolji je i strijelac lige|last=Švagelj|first=Ines|website=Vijesti.hr|language=hr|access-date=2019-11-07}}</ref> Astana confirmed a sixth consecutive league title with one round to spare and Tomasov was the league's top goalscorer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sportklub.hr/Nogomet/Nogomet-ostalo/a102944-Astani-sesta-titula-u-nizu-Tomasov-prvi-strijelac-lige.html|title=Astani šesta titula u nizu, Tomasov prvi strijelac lige|website=Sport Klub HR|date=4 November 2019|language=sr-Latn-RS|access-date=2019-11-07}}</ref>
