Zinedin Smajlović, born on 20 December 2003 (age 22), is a Swedish central defender whose senior career is now shaped largely by his spell at Sandefjord. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears squad number 2 and has become a regular part of their back line rather than a name passing through the margins.
His most productive league return came in 2024 with Sandvikens IF, where he scored two goals in 10 appearances. The stronger thread, though, is Sandefjord: 36 league appearances and two league goals across two seasons, including 10 Eliteserien appearances in 2026 without scoring. His market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in June 2026 while at Sandefjord. For now, his career remains centred on regular football in Norway, with Sandefjord clearly the main club in his development so far.
