Club career
As a 16-year-old, Kuzmanovski played seven matches, scoring twice, for the AIS team in the ACT division of the 2013 National Premier Leagues.[2]
A product of Western Sydney Wanderers youth academy, he scored a goal for the club in a youth league match against Perth Glory FC.[3] On 6 January 2015, he made his A-League debut against Melbourne Victory.
On 8 June 2015, Kuzmanovski signed for Melbourne City on a two-year deal.[4]
On 1 May 2017, Melbourne City announced Kuzmanovski would not be offered a new contract, his professional career curtailed by two anterior cruciate ligament injuries and sciatica after a lower back injury. After a two year period of recovery he began playing in the National Premier Leagues state system. He had success with Sydney club St George City, with a brief stint at Altona Magic before returning to St George.[5][6]
