Club career

[edit]

Kukoč previously played for NK Osijek and HNK Šibenik in the Croatian Prva HNL.[1]

Upon his signing for Perak, coach Steve Darby described Kukoč as "a solid player who is good in the air, very intelligent and very experienced".[2] His assured performances confirmed Kukoč's status as a fan favourite. While at Perak, he was affectionately nicknamed Cookie by their fans.

Kukoc requested, and was subsequently granted, a release at the end of the 2007 season as he wanted to get married.[citation needed]
