Career

Puljiz began his career at the Croatian club NK Imotski , where he was also active in the youth team. Puljiz left the then third division team in the summer of 1998 when he moved to today's NK Solin . For the 1999/00 season he switched to the first division club HNK Hajduk Split , where he stayed until the winter of 2003. In the winter transfer period it was awarded to NK Šibenik . From this station, he did not return to Split back but moved directly to the start of the season the season 2003/04 to Germany for Eintracht Frankfurt . Normally Puljiz should already be signed for winter 2003, but he would not have been allowed to play due to the FIFA regulations, since Eintracht Frankfurt would have been his third club in one season. In his debut season in Germany, the newcomer was used as a substitute in the position of central defender or right-back. In the following season, however, he could not book a single use. Puljiz had to have an ankle surgery after the start of the season . For the 2005/06 season the Croat was finally on the sidelines, but there was no buyer for the central defender either in the summer break or in the winter break . So for the second season in a row Puljiz did not have any playing time with the first team of Frankfurt . He only had three appearances at the end of the season in his own U23 . After the contract expired, he moved to the Bosnian club NK Široki Brijeg in the summer of 2006 . He stayed there for only six months before moving to the then Austrian Bundesliga club SCR Altach . There he came to regular employment times, but the expiring contract with Puljiz was not extended, which is why he now moved to Zorya Lugansk in the Ukraine . At first he came to missions, but in the end he was unable to assert himself there either. After a full season he went back to Bosnia-Herzegovina to HŠK Zrinjski Mostar . After only half a year he moved to his Croatian homeland and signed with NK Omis , but at the beginning of the 2009/10 season he went back to his first professional club NK Imotski. Again Puljiz stayed with his club for only half a year and now moved to KS Flamurtari Vlora in Albania . Despite the regular place at the Albanian first division club , he went to FK Liepājas Metalurgs in Latvia in the summer of 2010 . In the Virslīga it also only lasted six months, because in the winter of 2011 he was signed by the Croatian amateur club NK Jadran Luka Ploce, for which he is still active today.
