Deni Jurić is an Australian professional football attacker born in Kogarah, New South Wales, on 3 September 1997. He developed and built his senior career in Croatia and Slovenia before joining Polish club Wisła Płock in September 2025. Provider data identifies him as inactive at Wisła Płock as of 18 August 2026.
Deni Jurić was born in Kogarah, Sydney, and is an Australian international footballer of Croatian background. He began his youth development in Croatia with Croatia Sesvete and Sesvete, progressing through the Croatian football system rather than playing senior football in Australia. A tall, right-footed forward, Jurić is primarily used as a centre-forward and is known for operating as a penalty-box attacker.
His first senior opportunities came with Sesvete and Hajduk Split II. During the 2016–17 season he also spent time on loan at Solin, before continuing with Triglav Kranj, Solin and Rudeš. His most productive early senior spell came at Rudeš in 2019–20, when he scored 10 goals in 17 league appearances according to career records.
Jurić moved to Šibenik for the 2020–21 season and established himself in Croatia’s top division, scoring 11 goals in 32 league appearances. His performances earned a move to Dinamo Zagreb in 2021. He subsequently had loan spells with Šibenik, Gorica and Rijeka, and later joined Slovenian club Koper. At Koper he became a significant attacking contributor, scoring 10 league goals in the 2024–25 Slovenian PrvaLiga season and recording 15 goals across the available 2024–25 and 2025–26 competition data.
In September 2025, Jurić joined Wisła Płock in Poland. The club reported that he debuted against GKS Katowice on 26 September 2025 and later scored against Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza. Wisła Płock also reported that he sustained an injury while with Australia during the November 2025 international window, ruling him out for the end of the autumn round. His 2025–26 club record is reported by Opta Analyst as 19 appearances and five goals for Wisła Płock.
Jurić represented Croatia at under-19 level before playing for Australia’s under-23 side. He received his first senior Australia call-up in 2025 and made his senior international debut during the FIFA Series in March 2026. His confirmed senior record is two appearances and no goals. As at 18 August 2026, provider data lists him as inactive at Wisła Płock, while available contract reporting lists his agreement as running until 30 June 2028.
His clearest early breakthrough came at Šibenik in the 2020–21 season, when he scored 11 goals in 32 league appearances in Croatia’s top division. That form led to his 2021 transfer to Dinamo Zagreb. His later 10-goal 2024–25 league season for Koper was the immediate platform for his move to Wisła Płock and Australia senior selection.
Confirmed key figures include 11 league goals in 32 appearances for Šibenik in 2020–21; 10 Slovenian PrvaLiga goals for Koper in 2024–25; 15 goals across Opta Analyst’s available Koper record for 2024–2026; five Wisła Płock goals in 19 appearances in 2025–26; and two Australia senior caps with no goals as at 31 March 2026. No major individual award, championship medal or senior international tournament medal was located in the reviewed sources.
His defining professional moments include the 11-goal Šibenik season in 2020–21, his move to Dinamo Zagreb in 2021, his productive 2024–25 campaign at Koper, his September 2025 Wisła Płock debut against GKS Katowice, and his senior Australia debut during the FIFA Series in March 2026.
