Career highlights and awards

Professional career

Širko started playing basketball in his home town of Šibenik, but never spent much time on court until he moved to Kvarner coached by Aramis Naglić. He spent a season in Zadar before moving to Split. After spending three seasons there affirming himself as one of the key players of the club, in July 2018 he signed with the Greek Peristeri.[1][2]

In August 2019, he joined Zabok of the Croatian League, signing an open contract allowing him to leave the club easily if a better offer occurred.[3] Without playing a single game for Zabok, in September 2019, Širko moved to Peja of the Kosovo Superleague.[4]

On August 8, 2020, Širko returned to his hometown signing with Šibenka of the Croatian League.[5]
