Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Tudor started his career with lower-tier side Mladost Buzin, originally playing as a forward, aged 10 he was spotted by GNK Dinamo Zagreb scouts and moved there, but two years later moved to NK Zagreb where he spent most of his youth career, moving gradually to a right back role. In 2014, he moved to Greece, joining the U20 side of Panathinaikos, where he was helped and mentored by Danijel Pranjić[3]
After a year in Greece, Tudor moved back to Croatia, signing a three and a half-year[4] contract with HNK Hajduk Split. Initially playing for the third-tier B team, where coach Mario Osibov moved him to a more offensive right wing role, he was moved to the first team by the newly appointed sports director/coach Goran Vučević for the match against HNK Rijeka on 18 April 2015, on which he debuted in the first team, scoring the leading goal from a header in the 44th minute in what would be a 1–2 loss for his team, before he was replaced in the 62nd minute by Josip Bašić.[5]
On 27 December 2019, he signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the option of prolonging it for another two years with Polish Ekstraklasa club Raków Częstochowa.[6]
