  • Mario Tičinović, a former Hajduk Split player, has signed with third-tier Croatian club NK Uskok from Klis.
  • The signing signals Uskok's ambition to be promoted to the top Croatian league, despite a turbulent season for Tičinović with his previous club, Vukovar.
  • Tičinović, who is nearing 35, previously played for Nordsjælland, Lokeren, and Zrinjski Mostar, and won the Croatian Cup with Hajduk in 2010.

Mario Tičinović, a seasoned left-back nearing his 35th birthday, has joined Croatian third-tier club NK Uskok of Klis. This move signals the club's strong ambition for promotion to the top Croatian league, aiming for their second season in the second tier with renewed determination.

Tičinović arrives after a difficult season with Vukovar, which ended in relegation from the top flight. His departure from Vukovar was reportedly due to a fallout with coach Tomislav Stipić, who excluded him from the team, leading to a breakdown in their relationship. Tičinović played 26 matches for Vukovar, contributing three assists.

His career includes a formative period at Hajduk Split, where he won the Croatian Cup in 2010. He later moved to Denmark's Nordsjælland, played for Belgium's Lokeren, and spent six years at Zrinjski Mostar. His experience is expected to bolster Uskok's promotion aspirations.
