Sander Puri (born 7 May 1988) is an Estonian footballer who plays as a midfielder for League of Ireland First Division club Waterford and the Estonia national team.

Club career

Levadia

In 2005, at the age of 16, Puri started his professional career in Levadia.[3] He scored his first Meistriliiga goal on 1 June 2005, in a 2–0 victory over Kuressaare.[4] In 2007 Sander and his twin brother Eino Puri had a half-year loan spell in Tulevik.[5] In 2008 Puri was tested twice by Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund[6] and in late 2009 by Scottish Celtic.[7]

Larissa

On 14 December 2009, Puri signed a five-year contract with Superleague Greece club Larissa.[8] On March 18, 2010, Puri scored a winning goal against PAOK, in the very final moment of the match with a tap in at close range.[9] However, in his second season, Puri's place in the team became increasingly limited, citing constantly changing managers as the main reason and he made 10 appearances.[citation needed] It resulted him being loaned out twice.[citation needed]

He left the club on 31 January 2012, when his contract was mutually terminated as the team was constantly changing managers.[10]

Loan spells with Korona Kielce and Pápa

In January 2011, Puri went on loan to Ekstraklasa club Korona Kielce, until the end of the season.[11] 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.[12] He made his debut for the club, in a 1–1 draw against Zagłębie Lubin on 26 February 2011;[13] then, scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–3 draw against Polonia Bytom.[citation needed] He made eight appearance, due to injuries played the role.[14][15]

In July 2011, Puri was loaned to Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Pápa.[16] On 23 July 2011, Puri made his debut for the club, in a 2–0 win over Siófok.[citation needed] On 21 September 2011, Puri scored his first goal, in the third round of Magyar Kupa, in a 10–0 win against Győrszemere KSK.[citation needed] On 1 October 2011, Puri received a red card after a second-bookable offence, in a 1–1 draw against Zalaegerszegi.[citation needed] The loan contract was mutually terminated on 19 January 2012 after spending six-months at the club.[17] At Pápa, Puri made 13 appearances.[2]

KuPS

After his release, Puri joined Finnish Veikkausliiga club KuPS on 27 March 2012.[18] He previously went on trial with the club.[19] After missing the first five matches, Puri made his debut for the club, in a 2–0 loss against regaining champions HJK.[citation needed] In two consecutive matches, Puri scored on 11 June 2012 and 25 June 2012 against JJK Jyväskylä and IFK Mariehamn respectively.[citation needed]

In the first leg of the third round of the Europa League against Turkish team Bursaspor, Puri scored the only goal in the match to give his team a lead.[20] However, Bursaspor would overcome the result in the second leg by winning 6–0 and putting Kuopion out of the Europa League.[citation needed] 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.[21] However, in the final, Puri received a straight red card, which the club lost to Honka.[22]

On 12 December 2012, it announced that Puri has been released by the club after one season.[23]

After his release from Kuopion, Puri was linked with a Bulgarian club Beroe Stara Zagora and offered him a contract,[24] but he rejected the move.[25]

St Mirren

On 15 March 2013, Puri signed a contract until the end of 2012–13 with Scottish Premier League club St Mirren,[26] despite the interest of divisional rivals Kilmarnock, but was not offered a contract following a trial.[27][28] He made his debut for the team on 31 March as a late substitute for Esmaël Gonçalves in a league match 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".[29] Puri was released by the club on 15 May 2013.[30] He previously stated he want to stay at St Mirren for next season, having settled at the club.[31]

York City

Sligo Rovers

Puri signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club Sligo Rovers after a successful trial on 1 February 2015.[35][36] On 22 May 2015, he scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw with Derry City.[citation needed]
