An able defender who has proved his worth with his current club, FC Midtjylland, Erlić is an imposing figure on the pitch at 6ft 3in (1.92 metres) tall and carrying a strong 12st 3lb (78Kg) weight. Donning the number 6 shirt, he's demonstrated his skills on an international level, representing the Croatian national team.

In what could be seen as the turning point in his career, Erlić, made a shift in December 2016 from Sassuolo Primavera, located in the lower leagues of Italian football, to Serie A's Sassuolo. During the seasons of 2022 - 2023, he made impactful 28 first team appearances and further in the 2023 - 2024 season, he even notched one goal across 32 matches.
His journey in Serie A was tainted by a multitude of loans, first to Sudtirol in Serie B in August 2017, followed by another loan spell at Spezia in Serie B in 2018. During the 2019 - 2020 season with Spezia he twice managed to find the net in 30 matches while contributing a decent three goals and earning frequent time on the pitch during the 2020 - 2021 season.
In July 2019, Erlić made a official transition from Sassuolo to Spezia for an undisclosed fee. And he seemed to find his rhythm with the Serie B club, racking up commendable stats with the side over the next couple of years. In the 2020-2021 games, he made 27 appearances and knocked in 3 goals, and contributed an additional 2 in the 2021 - 2022 matches.
After almost four seasons, Erlić said his farewells to Spezia in July 2022 and made his way back to Sassuolo for a heftier fee of about £2.7 million. He kept his momentum going, carving out significant game time and delivering decent performances in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons.
His next move came about in August 2024 for a hefty £5 million as he made the switch from Sassuolo to Bologna. A year later in the 2025 season, he took his talents to FC Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga for about £3.6 million and is currently making his mark there.
On the international front, Erlić has performed admirably with appearances in the Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024 and Nations League 2024 - 2025 for Croatia. In the more recent Europa League 2025 - 2026 for FC Midtjylland, he's proven to be an asset scoring one vital goal in his three starts.
