Club career

Josip Vuković went through the ranks of HNK Hajduk Split, establishing himself, as well, as a regular for the Croatia U19 team in the 2010/2011 season.[1] He was released, however, by Hajduk, in the summer of 2011, and he joined the Druga HNL side NK Dugopolje.[2] Soon after, however, this was followed by injury, forcing Vuković to miss the following 1.5 seasons, returning only in the late stages of the 2012/2013 season. He was re-signed by Hajduk in the summer of 2014 [3] and he made his Prva HNL debut on 24 August 2014, in a 0-2 loss against NK Osijek, after the coach Igor Tudor decided to rest several first-team players.[4]

On 22 June 2018 Josip Vuković signed a three year professional contract with Marítimo.[5]

On 4 January 2023, Vuković joined Saudi club Al-Faisaly on loan.[6]

On 9 July 2023, he signed with Süper Lig club Pendikspor.[7]
