Club career
Pomorac
Komar developed at NK Pomorac 1921 where he was a mainstay in the team at their peak in their history, playing in the Prva HNL from 2001 to 2003.[1] They were relegated that season through losing the play-offs to NK Inter Zaprešić spearheaded by a young Dinamo Zagreb loanee, Eduardo da Silva.[2]
DPMM
Komar moved to Bruneian club DPMM FC owned by Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah in May 2005. He made his competitive debut at the year's Champions Cup on 6 May, in a pulsating 4–3 win over the Army football team where his goal in the 78th minute ignited his new team to victory from a 3–1 deficit.[3] He scored his first league goal in the league in a 5–1 victory over NBT FC.[4] He also featured for DPMM at the 2005 ASEAN Club Championship, going all the way to the semi-finals.[5]
At the start of the 2005–06 Malaysia Premier League season, Brunei DPMM FC replaced the Bruneian representative side in the Malaysian league system.[6] Under fellow Croatian Ranko Buketa, Komar and his team was promoted to the Malaysia Super League via the play-offs, overcoming Pahang in a 2–1 aggregate win.[7] He was retained by the club for their maiden MSL season, where his stellar performances in defence helped them reach third place at the conclusion of the campaign.[8] He was named the Player of the Year by the club.[9] At the end of the 2006–07 season, Komar was released by the club.[10]
Komar was recalled back to Brunei in the summer of 2008 after an administrative error scuppered a return to Pomorac in the 2007–08 season.[11] DPMM transferred to the Singapore S.League in 2009.[12] He scored one goal that year, in a 2–0 victory over Balestier Khalsa.[13] Later that season, Komar was handed a 15-month ban by the Football Association of Singapore for raising his hands to the referee in a game against Home United.[14] As a result of FIFA's suspension of Brunei, DPMM were forced to end their participation in the middle of their campaign, but not before winning the 2009 Singapore League Cup.[15]
Crikvenica
Komar moved to NK Crikvenica of the 3. HNL West in 2010, alongside Mate Brajković.[16] He became a regular with the team on the Croatian coast for the next three seasons, helping them consolidate their place in the Croatian third tier.[17]
Risnjak
After a possible deal with NK Borac Bakar of the 4. HNL failed to materialise,[18][19] Komar settled down at amateur side NK Risnjak in 2013 and helped the Gorski Kotar region club rise up the county leagues, winning it outright in 2015.[20][21] He played for the club until the 2021–22 season.[17]
