Hrvatin's first two seasons saw him playing at top level in the league and reaching the finals of the Croatian Cup.

Up until the 2006-07 season Zamet was in top flight of the league and then the club hit financial trouble so big that at one time they weren't paying salaries to Hrvatin and captain Milan Uzelac and Robert Savković among others.

In January 2009, Hrvatin moved to Croatia Osiguranje Zagreb for the remainder of the 2008-09 season and with the club won the Premier League and Cup.
