Sander Puri (born 7 May 1988) is an Estonian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Meistriliiga club Nõmme Kalju and the Estonia national team.
Club career
Levadia
Puri was born in Tartu.[1] In 2005, at the age of 16, Puri started his professional career with FC Levadia Tallinn, one of the biggest clubs in Estonia. He scored his first Meistriliiga goal on 1 June 2005, in a 2–0 victory over FC Kuressaare.[3] On July 30, 2007, Sander and his twin brother Eino Puri signed for Tulevik on a half-year loan from Levadia Tallinn.[4] He played there 14 league games, scoring 4 goals. Sander Puri was very close signing for the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund twice in 2008[5] and Scottish Premier League club Celtic in late 2009.[6]
Larissa
On 14 December 2009, Puri signed a five-year contract with Superleague Greece side Larissa.[7] On March 18, 2010, Puri scored a winning goal against PAOK, in the very final moment of the game with a tap in at close range.[8] However, in his second season, Puri first team place has become increasingly limited, citing constantly changing managers as the main reason and made ten appearances. It resulted him being loaned twice.
He left the club on 31 January 2012, when his contract was mutually terminated as the team was constantly changing managers.[9]
Loan spells with Korona Kielce and Pápa
In January 2011, Puri went on loan to Ekstraklasa side Korona Kielce, until the end of the season.[10] After the move, Puri says joining a club in Poland, needs him to get away from Greece, due to lack of playing time over constantly changing managers as the reason it's getting worse.[11] He made his debut for the club, in a 1–1 draw against Zagłębie Lubin on 26 February 2011;[12] then, scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–3 draw against Polonia Bytom. He made eight appearance, due to injuries played the role.[13][14] In July 2011, Puri was loaned to Nemzeti Bajnokság I side Pápa.[15] On 23 July 2011, Puri made his debut for the club, in a 2–0 win over Siófok. On 21 September 2011, Puri scored his first goal, in the third round of Magyar Kupa, in a 10–0 win against Győrszemere KSK. On 1 October 2011, Puri received a red card after a second-bookable offence, in a 1–1 draw against Zalaegerszegi. The loan contract was mutually terminated on 19 January 2012 after spending six-months at the club.[16] At Pápa, Puri made thirteen appearances.[2]
KuPS
After his release, Puri joined Finnish Veikkausliiga side KuPS on 27 March 2012.[17] He previously went on trial with the club.[18] After missing the first five matches, Puri made his debut for the club, in a 2–0 loss against regaining champions HJK. In two consecutive matches, Puri scored on 11 June 2012 and 25 June 2012 against JJK Jyväskylä and IFK Mariehamn respectively.
In the first leg of the third round of the Europa League against Turkish side Bursaspor, Puri scored the only goal in the game to give his side a lead.[19] However, Bursaspor would overcome the result in the second leg by winning 6–0 and putting Kuopion out of the Europa League. A week after the club's elimination in the Europa League, Puri scored a winning goal against MYPA in the Semi-finals of Finnish Cup to send the club in the final.[20] However, in the final, Puri received a straight red card, which the club lost to Honka.[21]
On 12 December 2012, it announced that Puri has been released by the club after one season.[22]
After his release from Kuopion, Puri was linked with a Bulgarian side Beroe Stara Zagora and offered him a contract, but he rejected the move.[23][24]
St Mirren
On 15 March 2013, Puri signed a contract until the end of 2012–13 with Scottish Premier League club St Mirren,[25] despite the interest of divisional rivals Kilmarnock, but was not offered a contract following a trial.[26][27] He made his debut for the team on 31 March as a late substitute for Esmaël Gonçalves in a league game against Celtic.[2] In a 2–2 draw against Motherwell on 6 April 2013, Puri assisted Conor Newton's goal to equalise before being substituted at half-time. Manager Danny Lennon explained he substituted Puri for a "tactical reason".[28] Puri was released by the club on 15 May 2013.[29] He previously stated he want to stay at St Mirren for next season, having settled at the club.[30]
York City
Puri signed for English League Two side York City on a one-year contract with the option of a one-year extension on 13 June 2013.[31][32] He made his debut in a 1–0 home win over Northampton Town on 3 August 2013, in the first game of 2013–14.[2] He was released by York in May 2014.[32]
