He played for Partizan, Arsenal Tivat, Jastrebac Niš, Porto, Radnički Kragujevac, PSV Eindhoven, Rostov and Spartak Trnava.
In early August 2007, Kralj and Russian side Rostov agreed to a contract that ties the goalkeeper to the club until the end of the Russian league season in December 2007. At the time of Kralj's signing the club was already in a bad position with slim chances of avoiding relegation. The club got relegated from Russian Premier League at the end of the season.
In July 2008, 35-year-old Kralj signed for Slovak club Spartak Trnava coached by his former coach at Partizan Vladimir Vermezović. He signed two-year contract, but in November 2009 was announced, that contract was finished after bilateral agreement of both sides.
Kralj made his international debut in a 3–2 victory away at Argentina, and went on to play 41 times for Yugoslavia. He played in all of Yugoslavia's 1998 FIFA World Cup games, and in 6 of Yugoslavia's 8 UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying games, where he conceded 6 goals.[1] Yugoslavia went to the quarter-finals of the tournament but were ousted by the Netherlands in a big defeat 6–1. Kralj conceded 6 goals in where Patrick Kluivert became the man of the match with 3 goals scored.
