Following four seasons with Cibalia, in June 2015 he joined NK Lokomotiva.[1] In January 2016, Puljićwas loaned to NK Inter Zaprešić until the end of the season.[2] Six months later, in July 2016, he transferred outright to Inter Zaprešić.[3] After a prolific 2016–17 season, during which he scored 11 league goals, Puljić caught the attention from other clubs in Croatia. Eventually, on 31 August 2017, he was signed by the Croatian champions, HNK Rijeka, on a season-long loan with a buying obligation.[4]
