Club career

Varaždin

Vizinger made his senior club debut for NK Varaždin on 24 August 2014. During the 2014–15 season of the 3. HNL, he scored six goals.[4]

Rijeka

In June 2015, Vizinger signed a contract with HNK Rijeka of the Croatian top division.[5] In his first season with the club, Vizinger mainly featured for Rijeka II in the 3. HNL, scoring seven goals in twenty appearances.[6] On 7 May 2016, he made his official début for the first team, when he entered as a substitute in an away draw against NK Osijek in the 35th round of the 2015–16 season.[7]

Loans

After not making a single appearance in the first half of the 2016–17 season, he was sent on loan to second division side Hrvatski Dragovoljac in February 2017.[8] He made 12 appearances in the Croatian Second Football League for the club, in which he scored twice.[2] For the 2017–18 season, Vizinger was loaned to Slovenian first division club Rudar Velenje, scoring two goals in 12 appearances during the first half of the season.[2]

Celje

In January 2018, the loan was terminated prematurely and Vizinger was signed on a permanent contract by Velenje's league rivals Celje.[1] Initially struggling to find the net, he would make his breakthrough in the 2019–20 season, making 35 league appearances and scoring 23 goals,[2] making him second on the top goalscorers list in the league, only behind Ante Vukušić, as Celje won the league title.[9] He received the award for the best young player of the season and was named 2019–20 PrvaLiga Team of the Year.[10]

Wolfsberger AC

On 8 September 2020, Vizinger signed a four-year contract with Austrian Bundesliga club Wolfsberger AC.[11] He made his debut on the opening day of the 2020–21 season against Red Bull Salzburg on 13 September 2020, coming off the bench and scoring his first goal in a 3–1 defeat.[12] His team having qualified for the group stage of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League, Vizinger scored the winner of the 1–0 victory against CSKA Moscow on 3 December 2020.[13]
