Career

College

Prior to starting college, Musovski was named the Nevada Gatorade Player of the Year as a high school junior, and set the state high school record for single-season goals as a senior at 58. At UNLV, he played four years of college soccer, from 2014 to 2017, during which he scored 47 goals in 88 appearances. He was a two-time All-America selection, and as a senior earned WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors. [1] [2]

Musovski made seven appearances for PDL side Burlingame Dragons FC in 2016 and scored six goals. [3]

Professional

On January 10, 2018, Musovski was selected 30th overall by the San Jose Earthquakes during the 2018 MLS SuperDraft. [4] [5] He was signed by the club on March 1, 2018, and immediately loaned to San Jose's USL affiliate, Reno 1868 FC, alongside fellow SuperDraft pick Mohamed Thiaw. [6] Musovski made his professional debut as a second-half substitute for Chris Wehan in Reno's 4–3 loss to Swope Park Rangers on March 17, 2018. [7] He scored his first professional goal in his second appearance on March 24, 2018, in a 1–1 draw with Las Vegas Lights FC, a match from which he was later ejected. [8] [9] Musovski was released by San Jose at the end of their 2018 season. [10]

Musovski joined Reno 1868 permanently on January 17, 2019, following his release by San Jose. [11]

On December 10, 2019, Musovski joined Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC ahead of the 2020 season. [12] He made his debut for the club on July 13, 2020, against Houston in the MLS is Back Tournament as a substitute for Adama Diomande in the 79th minute.

On August 3, 2022, Musovski was traded to Real Salt Lake in exchange for $250,000 in General Allocation Money. [13] His contract option was declined by the club at the end of the 2023 season; according to Musovski, negotiations for a renewed contract had broken down, which led to frustration.

While in free agency, Musovski signed a two-year contract with Seattle Sounders FC on February 1, 2024. [15]
