Jakov Puljić (born 4 August 1993) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Croatian Football League club Vukovar 1991.
Having passed through the ranks of HNK Cibalia youth academy, Puljić made his 1. HNL debut for the club on 3 March 2012, when he entered as a substitute in a 2–0 home win to NK Karlovac. Following four seasons with Cibalia, in June 2015 he joined NK Lokomotiva.[1] In January 2016, Puljić was 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]
