Career
Puljezević made his professional debut with Crvena zvezda and spent two seasons with the club (1992–1994). He then played for two years at Partizan (1994–1996), before returning to Crvena zvezda for another two seasons (1996–1998). Between 1998 and 2002, Puljezević played with Lovćen, helping the club win back-to-back championships in 2000 and 2001.
In 2002, Puljezević moved abroad to Hungary and joined Pick Szeged, spending the next seven years with the club. He subsequently returned to his homeland and briefly played for Kolubara. In late 2009, Puljezević moved to Germany and joined TSV Hannover-Burgdorf. He decided to retire after the 2012–13 season. However, Puljezević came out of retirement and signed with TV Hüttenberg in April 2014.[1]
Puljezević represented FR Yugoslavia in two major tournaments, winning the bronze medal at the 2001 World Men's Handball Championship.[2] He later switched allegiance to Hungary and appeared in two more World Championships (2007 and 2009) and two European Championships (2008 and 2010).
