Club career

Bozinovski immigrated to Australia in his teens, going on to play football in the country for South Melbourne FC and Footscray JUST. In 1989, aged 25, and following a very brief spell in Belgium, he moved to Portugal and joined S.C. Beira-Mar, appearing in 32 league games as the Aveiro club retained its top division status.

Staying in the country, Bozinovski signed for Sporting Clube de Portugal but, after one single season, returned to his previous club and, in the following year, signed for Ipswich Town in the Premier League. He appeared in only one fourth of the games for the Blues, who only narrowly avoided relegation.

In the 1993 summer, Bozinovski returned to Portugal, representing F.C. Paços de Ferreira and F.C. Felgueiras, playing two out of three seasons in the top flight. After competing in 1996–97 in the Turkish Süper Lig, with Ankaragücü, the 33-year old moved to Singapore, where he represented Tanjong Pagar United FC, Home United FC and Clementi Khalsa FC until his retirement in 2001.

Subsequently, Bozinovski became a players agent.[1]

International career

Bozinovski gained six caps for Australia, scoring once in the process. His debut took place on 13 June 1988, in a 1–0 friendly win with the United States in Orlando, Florida.

Additionally, Bozinovski represented the nation at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, appearing twice as a substitute in an eventual quarterfinal exit.[2]
