Roko Jureškin (born 29 September 2000) is a Croatian footballer who plays as a left-back for Italian Serie B club Spezia on loan from Pisa.

Club career[edit]

Sereď[edit]

Jureškin made his Fortuna Liga debut for iClinic Sereď against Spartak Trnava during an away fixture on 21 July 2019. Jureškin was fielded during the half time as a replacement for Aldo Baéz. He was also booked late in the second half with a yellow card.[2]

In his fourth start, during a match against Nitra at pod Zoborom, Jureškin recorded his first goal for iClinic. After over an hour of play, Jureškin had replaced Cléber, as Nitra was in a 2:0 lead. While on the pitch, Jureškin had witnessed a goal per side - first Nitra had increased the lead through Milan Ristovski and then Dino Špehar had narrowed the gap. In the 78th minute, after a pass by Alex Iván, Jureškin had brought Sereď to a one goal difference, but the red-whites had failed to equalise and lost the game 2:3.

Despite five consecutive appearances at the start of the season Jureškin had lost his place in the squad in late August, making a single league appearance since (against AS Trenčín on 28 September 2019) and missing 13 other games.

Loan at Žilina[edit]

During the winter of 2020, Jureškin had left for MŠK Žilina B, competing in 2. Liga. He had made an impression during a friendly against Sigma Olomouc, scoring both goals of the match.[3]

He made his league debut for Žilina in the first spring fixture against Petržalka. He appeared as a second half tactical replacement for Vahan Bichakhchyan, as Žilina held a 1:0 lead. Žilina went on to hold onto the three points.[4] In the following week, however, the season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Pisa[edit]

On 10 July 2022, Jureškin signed a three-year contract with Pisa in Italian second-tier Serie B.[6] On 31 January 2023, he moved on loan to Benevento in the same league, with an option to buy.[7]

On 31 January 2024, he joined Spezia on loan for the remainder of the season with the option to buy.[8]
