He was recently promoted to the Hajduk Split first-team and has since played five times, netting one goal.
Vuskovic made his professional debut in a derby game against bitter rivals Dinamo Zagreb.
His chance came just two days after his 16th birthday, which made him the youngest player to ever feature in the Croatian top division.
