==Club career==

===Early career===
Koren played for [[NK Dravograd|Dravograd]] and [[NK Celje|Celje]] in his home country, before transferring to Norwegian side [[Lillestrøm SK|Lillestrøm]] in 2004.

===Lillestrøm===
He became one of the most highly rated players of the [[Tippeligaen|Norwegian Premier League]], many regarding him as the best foreigner in the entire competition. Koren was the definitive playmaker for Lillestrøm, and has often been compared to his former idol [[Zlatko Zahovič]]. During his time in Norway he was linked with a move to English club [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]].

===West Bromwich Albion===
On 4 January 2007, Koren signed for English [[EFL Championship|Championship]] club [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]] in a [[Bosman ruling]], penning an 18-month contract with a further year's option in the club's favour.<ref>{{cite news|title=Slovenian Koren joins West Brom|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_bromwich_albion/6231543.stm|publisher=BBC|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 January 2007|access-date=25 April 2007}}</ref> He made his debut two days later as a late substitute in the Baggies' 3–1 win over [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] in the [[2006–07 FA Cup|FA Cup]] third round. Koren scored his first goal for the club in a 7–0 home win against [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]] on 6 May 2007, the last day of the league season. The victory ensured Albion's place in the Championship promotion play-offs. Koren started all three play-off games as Albion beat [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolves]] in the two-legged semi-final but lost 1–0 to [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] in the [[Wembley Stadium|Wembley]] final.

In July 2007 Koren suffered a freak accident in training when a ball hit him in the eye, causing internal bleeding and temporary loss of vision. Although he made a full recovery, he later admitted that he had feared for his sight.<ref>{{cite news|title=Koren to miss big kick-off|url=http://www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~1082715,00.html|publisher=West Bromwich Albion FC|date=1 August 2007|access-date=6 October 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090213210918/http://www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10366~1082715%2C00.html|archive-date=13 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Koren: "I was scared"|url=http://www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~1117155,00.html|publisher=West Bromwich Albion FC|date=22 September 2007|access-date=6 October 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215004619/http://www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10366~1117155%2C00.html|archive-date=15 February 2009}}</ref> The injury meant that he missed the start of the [[2007–08 West Bromwich Albion F.C. season|2007–08]] season, but he returned to the side at the end of August as a substitute in a [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] game against [[Peterborough United F.C.|Peterborough]].
