Josip Vuković is returning to Dugopolje, where he started his senior career over 12 years ago. The 34-year-old Croatian midfielder became a free agent after his contract with Sakaryaspor in Turkey expired. Before the move, there were discussions in August that he could continue his career with Hajduk's second team as its leader. He also attracted interest from several top-tier HNL clubs, had significant offers from Kazakhstan, was contacted by parties from Turkey, and was wanted by top clubs in Slovenia. Despite these options, Vuković decided to rejoin Dugopolje. The club announced his arrival on its website. He has 12 caps for the Croatia U19 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €100k.
