Club career

edit

On 29 January 2022, Jakoliš signed a 3.5-year contract with French club Angers.[2] On 20 January 2023, he was loaned out to Cypriot First Division club AEK Larnaca until the end of the season.[3]

Personal life

edit

His brother Antonio is also a footballer.[4][5] He wears the jersey number 44 as a nod to Dražen Petrović, a legendary Croatian basketball player who was coached by Jakoliš's father.[6]

Jakoliš' father is an Australian citizen, who had lived in Melbourne for 15 years.[7] However, despite Jakoliš having an Australian passport, he is not currently eligible to play for Australia due to FIFA rules regarding his continuous Australian residency.[8]
