Professional career

Born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia, Rufati started playing football at the local Tekstilac Ravnice Zagreb, before moving on to the more renowned HAŠK Zagreb.[1] At the beginning of 2014, he joined the town's top academy, that of GNK Dinamo Zagreb where he would remain until the end of 2016. Following a successful season with NK Lokomotiva in the U19 youth league, Rufati joined NK Istra 1961 on 14 July 2018.[2] Only 2 weeks after joining Istra he already made his professional debut in the opening round of the 2018–19 Croatian First Football League, having played 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Slaven Belupo on 29 July 2018.[3]
