Ljuban Crepulja (born 2 September 1993) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga I club Voluntari.

Club career

Youth career

Crepulja, though born in Čapljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, hails from Sisak, where he went through the ranks of HNK Segesta, debuting as a 16-year-old in the Druga HNL. He was picked up by GNK Dinamo Zagreb's feeder team NK Lokomotiva the following season for their U19 team, progressing to Dinamo U19 team itself for the 2011–12 season.

Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Not given a professional contract by Dinamo, he moved to Druga HNL again, this time to NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac, where he established himself as a first-team regular and made his first youth international caps, playing for the Croatia U20 team in December 2012.[1]

Slaven Belupo

Dragovoljac was promoted at the end of the season, but Crepulja moved to NK Slaven Belupo.[2] Though his start at the club was marred by a drunk-driving incident,[3] he remained a first team regular at the club.

On 19 January 2016, it was reported that Crepulja was in Glasgow for signing talks with Celtic.[4]

Sarajevo

Crepulja signed for Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina club FK Sarajevo on 6 February 2018.[5] He left Sarajevo after almost half a year on 17 June 2019.[6]

Astra Giurgiu

On 28 June 2019, Crepulja signed a two-years contract with Romanian club Astra Giurgiu.[7]
