Career
Ćalušić made his league debut for Dinamo Zagreb on 27 February 2013 against Hajduk Split.[2]
Most of his career has been linked with "Zagreb blues", specialy their reserves teams, all until summer 2019, when he leaves them and signs with Slovenian club NK Celje. In his second season there he menaged to win the Slovenian championship and, his highly contribution to it, made him earn interest from several clubs, ending him to chose to join TSC Bačka Topola, a newly established Serbian SuperLiga club which already by then showed traces of serious contender for the top spots of the league and as one of the more organised and structured clubs. It will take no more than two seasons for him to make it with TSC by archiving the qualifiyers for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League as a second placed club in the 2022–23 Serbian SuperLiga.
