Club career

edit

Born in Bitola, Trapanovski started playing football for the youth team of Akademija Pandev until the summer in 2015, when he got promoted to the senior team of the club, competing in the Macedonian Third League. He performed at Akademija Pandev for two consecutive seasons and helped the team advance from the third to the first division within only two years. Then, in the summer of 2017, after reaching the top Macedonian tier he decided to continue his career abroad by signing for SK Slavia Prague.[2] Four months later, on 28 February 2018, he got loaned to Slovakian side FC Tatran Prešov[3] to get some playing experience on senior level playing in the first Slovak division. During the six-month loan he made four appearances for the club, in all of them coming in as a substitute from the bench.[4] Kristijan joined Dundee United in June 2024 after a lengthy wait for a work permit.[5]

Trapanovski has been a regular member of Macedonian U-17 and U-19 national teams.[6] On 24 May 2018 he also made his debut for Macedonia U-21 in a friendly match against Azerbaijan.[7]
