Mladen Kukrika (born 11 January 1991) is a Bosnian professional football goalkeeper.

Club career

Early career

Kukrika began his career in his country's premier league with Leotar in the 2009-10 season.[1] [2] In his debut season, he appeared in 2 matches.[3] He resigned with Leotar the following season.[4] He would establish himself as the starting goalkeeper in his fifth season with the club.[5] Throughout the 2013-14 campaign, he appeared in 18 matches.

Kukrika would be transferred during the winter 2014 transfer market to the Albanian First Division with Kastrioti.[6] [7] His tenure with the club was short-lived as he departed after the season's conclusion.[8] He played in 10 matches in the Albanian circuit. In the summer of 2014, he returned to his former club Leotar which competed in the country's second division.[9] Throughout the season, Kukrika would also receive a trial with Zvijezda Gradačac but failed to secure a contract.[10] [11]

Canada

In 2015, he played abroad in the Canadian Soccer League's first division with expansion side Scarborough SC.[12] [13] [14] He played in the club's home opener on May 15, 2015, against Toronto Croatia.[15] Kukrika re-signed with Scarborough the following season.[16] He would help the eastern Toronto side clinch a playoff berth by finishing third in the division.[17] Scarborough was eliminated from the postseason tournament by Hamilton City in the first round.[18] [19]

Europe

After his stint in Canada, he returned to the Bosnian circuit and secured a deal with Željezničar Banja Luka.[20] In his debut season with Željezničar, he helped the club secure a promotion by winning the league title.[21] He left the club and became a free agent at the season's conclusion. However, his departure was short as he re-signed with the club.[22]

He joined NK Metalleghe-BSI during the 2018 winter transfer market.[23] [24] [25]

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Kukrika joined Swedish Prespa Birlik in the Division 2 Västra Götaland.[26] [27] In January 2020, he returned to the Bosnian top-tier league by signing with Borac Banja Luka.[28] [29] Kukrika left Borac on 22 August 2020 after the termination of his contract.[30] In his final season in the Bosnian premier league, he played in 2 matches.

On 12 October 2020, he signed a one-year contract with First League of FBiH club GOŠK Gabela.[31] He made his official debut for GOŠK five days later, on 17 October, in a league win against Slaven Živinice.[32]

In 2021, he played in the Gozo Football League First Division with Victoria Wanderers F.C.[33] After the conclusion of the season, the club was relegated from the top division.[34]
