Club Career
Vicelich played for Waitakere City FC and Central United in the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Premier before establishing himself as one of the best players for the Football Kingz, when the Auckland based club joined the Australian National Soccer League in 1999.
Thanks to the contacts he made through his Football Kingz colleague, John Lammers, he was able to impress Roda JC Kerkrade, with whom he signed in 2001. He was a regular player for Roda JC until May 2006 when he signed a 2-year contract with fellow Dutch Eredivisie club side, RKC Waalwijk.
He returned to New Zealand and signed with Auckland City FC in The New Zealand Football Championship before the start of the 2008/2009 season and was a key member of the Auckland squad that contested the 2009 Club World Cup in United Arab Emirates in 2009.
In July 2010, following the 2010 FIFA World Cup in which Vicelich started every one of New Zealand's three games, he signed a short term deal to play for Chinese Super League club Shenzhen Ruby F.C. for four months. He returned to former club Auckland City FC in December 2010, following a 30-day stand-down period.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
