Dario Zanatta (born 24 May 1997) is a Canadian soccer player who plays for Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian, as a forward. He has previously represented Canada at under-16, under-18 and under-20 level.

Career

Youth

Zanatta grew up playing for Gorge Soccer Association and Lower Island Metro[1] during his childhood years.[2] As a teenager, he played for the Victoria Capitals youth program before joining Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency in 2011, aged 14.[3] Zanatta was offered a spot in the academy and slowly worked his way up the academy ranks. He left Vancouver in February 2015, having been unable to agree to terms on a contract and set his ambitions on Europe[4] and went on trial with several European clubs, including Ipswich Town,[5] IFK Gothenburg and Heart of Midlothian (Hearts).[6]

Professional

Heart of Midlothian

Zanatta signed his first professional contract on 6 August 2015, signing with Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian, on a two year contract, [7] initially joining up with the club's under-20 side.[1] Zanatta made his first team debut on 31 October, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute in a Scottish Premiership match against Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium, replacing Sam Nicholson in a 4–0 win.[8] In January 2016, Zanatta was originally expected to be loaned to a lower division club, but he impressed Hearts coach Robbie Neilson enough to stay with the first team. [9]
