Early career Bedenikovic played at the youth level with Dixie Soccer Club. He received a scholarship in 2001 from the
University of San Francisco in order to play at the
college level for the
San Francisco Dons. He played with San Francisco for two seasons. He continued playing in the CPSL when he signed with
Toronto Croatia for the 2004 season. The Croats would go on to claim the
CPSL Championship by defeating
Vaughan Shooters. He also had several trials throughout Europe with clubs such as
Lombard Pápa,
Budapest Honvéd, and
TuS Koblenz but ultimately wasn't offered a contract. In early September he received another tryout match in France but wasn't offered a contract. He returned for the remainder of the season and assisted in securing a postseason berth for Oakville. In the second round of the playoffs, he contributed the winning goal against
Hamilton Thunder that advanced Oakville to the finals. He featured in the championship final and assisted Oakville in securing the title against Vaughan.
Toronto Lynx The following season he signed a contract with the
Toronto Lynx of the
USL First Division. The signing reunited him with former head coach
Duncan Wilde. He made his debut on April 22, against
Virginia Beach Mariners. He helped Toronto reach the final of the
Open Canada Cup but was defeated by
Ottawa St. Anthony Italia. In his debut season with the Lynx, he appeared in 27 matches and recorded one goal.
Europe In 2008, he also played in a match with the reserve team of
Toronto FC. He contributed a goal against
Canberra Croatia FC which helped Croatia to claim the title. Unfortunately, the club ceased operations in late 2009, which resulted in the termination of his contract.
Canada After a stint in Europe, he returned to Canada for the
2010 CSL season to sign with
Portugal FC. He assisted Portugal in securing a postseason berth and recorded a goal in the playoffs in the second round against
Milltown F.C. The following season Portugal FC was renamed SC Toronto and he assisted the club in securing the First Division title. Bedenikovic would later play in the
Ontario Soccer League with HNNK Zagreb in 2012. In 2018, he returned to the Canadian Soccer League to play with
CSC Mississauga.
Indoor career After the relegation of Toronto to the
Premier Development League, he played at the
indoor level with
Baltimore Blast in the
Major Indoor Soccer League. On December 6, 2018, Bedenikovic and six other players were signed by the
Major Arena Soccer League's
Florida Tropics SC. The high volume of signings was necessitated by issues with Canadian immigration laws, as the Tropics were due to play the
Mississauga MetroStars on December 8. For the remainder of the indoor season, he played in the Mississauga-centered Arena Premier League with Portugal AC. == International career ==
