Anas Sharbini

Anas Sharbini (Arabic: أنس الشربيني; born 21 February 1987) is a Croatian professional footballer, currently playing for OSK Omišalj.

On 13 August 2009 he signed for Hajduk Split in a deal which included bringing his brother Ahmad Sharbini to the Dalmatian club.

[2] The talented youngster had some troubles adjusting to his new environment and due to the club's struggles in finding and then keeping a coach for a longer term, he often found himself on and off the starting XI.

[11] Sharbini won 29 caps and scored 10 goals in various youth levels of Croatia and made his biggest impact with the Croatian U19 team.

Due to his fine form in the 2007–08 season, national manager Slaven Bilić called him up to represent Croatia in their Euro 2008 campaign as a reserve in case of injuries, and most recently, for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against England in September 2009.

[13] He scored his first international goal in his second cap five years later, opening a 1–2 defeat in a friendly match against Argentina in London on 12 November 2014.

[14] Brothers Anas and Ahmad Sharbini are the only siblings to have each scored a hat-trick in the same match in top-tier European football leagues.

He was born in Rijeka, to a local Albanian Croatian mother and Palestinian father, Jamal Al-Sharbini, from Damascus, Syria.
