Gets a very late taste: HNK Hajduk Split @hajduk 90 Three changes in the composition of Hajduk. Krolo, Pukštas and Atanasov enter the game instead of Sahiti, Grgić and Krovinović. #HajOsi
Played right back today https://dalmatinskiportal.hr/sport/pukstas--bilo-je-ovo-dobro-iskustvo/150585
https://hajduk.hr/vijest/rokas-puks...iciji-trener-bude-trebao-bit-cu-spreman/15375 Google translate: Rokas Pukštas played at right back today and played a good 90 minutes of the match and showed that he is ready to play in different roles on the field. - This was a great experience, the coach called me and helped me, explained my role. It was a great opportunity, and my teammates helped me a lot, explained to me the right positions, passed the balls to me in the right places. With their help it was easy, with them my confidence is growing. In whatever position the coach needs me, I will be ready. If necessary, I will also be a goalkeeper. Given that our first goalkeeper is injured, I can be the third choice - Rokas was full of confidence after reaching the quarter-finals of the Cup.
First senior team league start, I think, and a goal ROKAS PUKŠTAS 🇺🇸🇱🇹(2004) SCORES HIS FIRST SENIOR GOAL FOR HAJDUK SPLIT!!!pic.twitter.com/6W7d1lfEvP https://t.co/HH9u1oO7El— Football Report (@FootballReprt) November 12, 2022
What’s the anticipated ceiling with Rokas? I pop in here every so often and get the impression he keeps making positive stride after positive stride with Hajduk Split. I also get the impression the club has been very patient and deliberate with his development. Good to see, if true.
Scored a brace for the 2nd team, including the game winner: Kristijan Kremenjaš @kikikremenjas23 The players of Solina defeated Kustoshija 2:3 on the road with a great turnaround in stoppage time (goals in 90+1 and 90+4), and two goals, including the winning one, were scored by Hajduk's "joker from the bench" Rokas Pukštas. 🇭🇷 Prva NL🧐 brace today for 18 yr old 🇺🇸YNT midfielder Rokas Pukstas while playing for NK Solin!

Assist x2: Rokas Pukštas odigrao je još jednu odličnu utakmicu za Solin na gostovanju kod Hrvatskog Dragovoljca,utakmice je završila 3:3,a Rokas je ubilježio dvije asistencije 👀🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/FNzpBrWmML— ZLOpta (@ZLOpta3) December 7, 2022 Rokas Pukštas played another great game for Solin away to Hrvatski Dragovoljec, the match ended 3:3, and Rokas recorded two assists
That dribble and shot in the area was special, and the pass was deftly placed. Looks like he’s developing nicely.
Started the 2nd half in a 3-2 friendly loss: Hajduk second half: Lučić, Vušković, Simić, Prpić, Lovrencsics, Pukštas, Fossati, Capan, Brajković,Kalinić, Antunović (od 91. Hrgović). no major opportunities until the 71st minute when Pukštas entered the middle from the right side and took a nice shot, but the ball landed on the post. https://hajduk.hr/vijest/hajduk-s-3-2-svladao-madarski-mol-fehervar-/15503
Pukstas comes on in the 72nd minute against Sibenik. Hajduk Split score a late winner. Since correlation is causation, well done.
Off the bench: HNK Hajduk Split @hajduk 63 Dvostruka promjena u sastavu Hajduka. U igru su usli Pukstas i Fossati umjesto Mlakara i Grgića. #IstHaj

One of the most interesting developing YA stories. Playing at a club like Split or Dinamo Zagreb at 18 often leads to nice careers.
