Club career

Bristrić was born in Tuzla and grew up in Gradačac.{{cite web |title=HŠK Zrinjski: Otkrili smo tko je igrač s brojem 7 na leđima koji je oduševio navijače |url=https://hercegovina.in/hsk-zrinjski-otkrili-smo-tko-je-igrac-s-brojem-7-na-ledima-koji-je-odusevio-navijace/ |website=Hercegovina.in |access-date=21 August 2023 |language=hr |date=10 February 2020}} He began his football career with ŠN Trijumf at the age of 6, before joining the youth ranks of his hometown club Zvijezda Gradačac. He then spent a short time in the academy of the Croatian club Osijek,{{cite web |title=Obračun bivših "lega": Nije Nenad Bjelica kriv baš za sve loše u Osijeku |url=https://www.germanijak.hr/nogomet/vijesti/obracun-bivsih-lega-nije-nenad-bjelica-kriv-bas-za-sve-lose-u-osijeku/111046 |website=germanijak.hr |access-date=21 August 2023 |language=hr |date=15 March 2023}} but due to paperwork problems he could not be signed and registered and therefore returned to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2020, signing with Zrinjski Mostar. A year later, he switched to Sloboda Tuzla's youth setup, and then returned to Croatia with Rijeka in June 2021.{{cite web |title=Talentovani kapiten juniorske bh. reprezentacije potpisao za Rijeku |url=https://sportsport.ba/fudbal/admir-bristric-rijeka/401987 |website=sportsport.ba |access-date=21 August 2023 |language=bs |date=21 June 2021}}
