Aluminij is a club that has no trouble trusting young players – it was like this in the past season when they were relegated from the Prva Liga Telemach, and it will continue in the new competitive year as they aim for promotion from the 2. SNL. The latest young prospect to move to Kidričevo is Luka Pučnik, who already has experience playing for Aluminij. The 19-year-old forward was a member of Aluminij from 2019 to 2022 before moving to Ljubljana to sign with Bravo.

As a member of the Šiškarji in the Prva Liga Telemach, Pučnik spent some time on the bench for the senior team and scored two goals on his debut in the cup. His most successful season on the youth stage was 2022/23, when he scored 9 goals in 24 matches in the Eon NextGen League. Interestingly, Pučnik was registered as a new member of Bistrica in July, but now there has been a change, and he will instead play for Aluminij, which defeated the team from Slovenska Bistrica in the first round of the new 2. SNL season.
“The team is really fantastic, I like the ambition, and the goals are set high. All of this motivated me even more to return to Kidričevo. It should also be noted that the team is young, eager to prove itself, and the atmosphere in the dressing room is really high. We are focused only on football, and that is the most important thing. Of course, I fully understand that I will have to earn my place in the team with my attitude in training, hard work, and behavior off the pitch. However, I am here to fully commit to the team, to try to progress day by day, to prove myself, and to help the team. Naturally, I hope to pave the way for Aluminij back to the top league with my goals and assists,” said the young Luka Pučnik upon his arrival in Kidričevo to the club’s website.
