Playing career

Volk was called up one time by the Slovenia national team, but was an unused substitute in a 1998 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3]

At the end of his playing career, Volk was both playing and serving as the goalkeeping coach for Olimpija Ljubljana in the Slovenian lower tiers. In the spring of 2009, he decided to retire as a player in order to free up a first-team spot for Jan Oblak, who at the time was a 16-year-old academy goalkeeper.[4] Volk made 156 top-flight appearances during his career, with 138 of those coming in the Slovenian PrvaLiga.[5]
