Club career
Varaždin
Hailing from Trnovec Bartolovečki,[4] he was a product of the NK Varteks youth academy and joined the first team in 2009 as a 19-year-old. His debut for Varteks in the Prva HNL came in a 0–0 draw on 22 November 2009 against NK Slaven Koprivnica.[5] The team fell into financial difficulty, changed its name to NK Varaždin in mid-2010, suffered two different suspensions from play by the Croatian Football Federation; Dreven left the team, with unpaid wages, in 2012.
Tampines Rovers
He joined the Singaporean side in 2012 on a free transfer. His debut came on 12 February 2012 against DPMM FC in a 2–2 draw.[6] At the end of the season he was released.
Return to Croatia
Dreven returned to Croatia in the summer of 2013, joining the third-tier side NK Podravina from Ludbreg, making a mark by scoring from a penalty as well. During the winter break, he made his return to Prva HNL signing a 2 1⁄2-year contract with NK Istra 1961.[7] Following a season at Istra 1961, he moved on to a short, fruitless stint at NK Zavrč before joining lower-tier fan-run NK Varteks (unassociated with his previous Varteks club).[8]
