This summer in Celje, a few young footballers from the youth academy have signed professional contracts, one of whom is Nikola Ilinčić. However, he will have to wait at least another year for a potential breakthrough into the senior team of the Slovenian champion. Nikola Ilinčić will spend the 2024/25 season on loan, where he will begin accumulating his first significant senior minutes in the 3. SNL.

The 18-year-old defender, born in Slovenia, who was previously called up to one of the youth national teams of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will continue his career in Krško, which is not unfamiliar to him. Before moving to Celje in 2020, he developed in the youth academy of Krško. He played in the U15 and U17 leagues, and as a member of Celje, he made 45 appearances in the Youth Eon NextGen League.
After four years, as mentioned, Nikola Ilinčić has returned to the town of the Counts, where he will try to convince the Celje club with his performances that he deserves to return to the city by the Savinja River. Currently, there is very strong competition in the senior team, and young players need to seek opportunities to move up to the senior ranks elsewhere.
