Club career

Ružomberok

Kružliak made his Fortuna Liga debut for Ružomberok against ViOn Zlaté Moravce on 29 March 2014, entering in as a substitute in place of injured Lukáš Greššák in the 59th minute of the match. ViOn however went on to defeat Ružomberok 1–0.[1]

Volos

On 19 June 2023, he signed a contract with Volos on a free transfer.[2]

On 5 September 2023, on the aftermath of Volos' 3–2 loss to AEK Athens, the club terminated his contract as he was thought responsible for the loss after conceding a penalty in stoppage time, converted by Nordin Amrabat.[3]

Three days later, he returned to Slovakia to sign a two-year deal with FC Košice.[4]

International career

Kružliak was first called up for Slovakia national team for two unofficial friendly fixtures in January 2017, in Abu Dhabi, UAE, against Uganda (1–3 loss) and Sweden. He made his debut on 12 January against Sweden, however he only played the first half of the match. Slovakia lost the game 0–6.[5][6]
