Early life
He was born in the city of Zadar, to a Serb father and a Croat mother, he first moved to Belgrade with his family when he was 4,[1] and then to Canada at the age of 6.[2] At the age of nine he started playing with Windsor FC Nationals.

After a year in Belgrade he moved to Hungary and signed with Zalaegerszegi TE. He scored in his debut for the first team played on 2 March 2011, in a Hungarian Cup match against Vasas.[4] however, as being the youngest player in the team he divided most of his time between the main and the reserve team. Cebara made two appearances in the Hungarian Championship and left to join the Canadian U-20 team in their World Cup qualifiers, however, after his return, the club began experiencing financial difficulties and Cebara had problems cancelling his contract with them so he spent the following 6 months inactive.[2]
In August 2012 he was in a 10-day trial period at Italian club Udinese, however a month later, on 11 September, he signed a 2-year contract with Slovenian side NK Celje.[5] He made his debut for Celje on 16 September 2012, in a Slovenian First League game against FC Koper.[4][6]
In February 2015, Cebara was reported to have signed with FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce of the Fortuna Liga.
