Hajduk loans Noa Skoko to Rudeš
HNK Hajduk Split officially announced that 20‑year‑old midfielder Noa Skoko has been loaned to Rudeš for the remainder of the season. Skoko signed his contract with the new club today, and Hajduk emphasized the desire for the young player to gain regular playing time.
How did Skoko arrive at Hajduk?
Skoko came from Australia to Hajduk as a junior, making his senior debut in April 2024 during a 5‑1 victory over Rudeš at Poljud. So far he has logged 64 minutes away at Žilina and a total of 17 official matches for Hajduk. His stint at Rudeš offers a chance to showcase the quality he displayed in those appearances.
What does the loan mean for Hajduk?
Currently Hajduk sits 7th in the HNL with 0 points, 0‑0‑1 from one game and a recent form of L. The loan of Skoko can free up space for other young talents, while the player gains essential minutes on the pitch. With Hajduk 3 points behind Dinamo Zagreb in the title race, any squad tweak could be decisive.
What lies ahead in upcoming fixtures?
Rudeš will integrate Skoko into their attacking plans, while Hajduk prepares for the next home clash against NK Osijek on 13 February 2027, aiming to climb back up the table. The club will monitor Skoko's progress and decide on his return or a possible loan extension.
Bottom line
Noa Skoko's loan to Rudeš is a forward step for his development and gives Hajduk flexibility in its lineup. Fans will watch his growth and hope the experience translates back at Poljud.
