Club career Having passed through the ranks of HNK Cibalia youth academy, Puljić made his 1. HNL debut for the club on 3 March 2012, when he entered as a substitute in a 2–0 home win to NK Karlovac. Following four seasons with Cibalia, in June 2015 he joined NK Lokomotiva. In January 2016, Puljić was loaned to NK Inter Zaprešić until the end of the season. Six months later, in July 2016, he transferred outright to Inter Zaprešić.
