Tom Kljun (born 29 January 2004) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Nafta 1903.[1]
Kljun is a youth product of Celje, where he signed his first professional contract in January 2020,[2] before making his professional debut on 5 June, as he came on as a substitute for Luka Kerin in the injury time of a 2–0 PrvaLiga win against Rudar Velenje.[3] At 16 years, 4 months and 7 days, he became the youngest ever player to feature for Celje in a league match. The club eventually went on to win the national title at the end of the same season.[4]
In July 2021, Kljun joined fellow Slovenian side Tabor Sežana on a permanent deal.[5]
On 17 January 2023, it was officially announced that Kljun agreed to join Serie A side Lecce for an undisclosed fee, being initially assigned to the club's under-19 team.[6]
Kljun has represented Slovenia at all youth international levels up to the under-19 national team.[7]
