Club career

Western United

On 5 August 2021, Western United announced the signing of Bozinovski to a two-year scholarship contract, initially adding him to Western United's NPL squad. Prior to joining Western United, Bozinovski had gained experience playing with Melbourne City and Sunshine George Cross at the NPL youth level. Bozinovski quickly established himself as a key player in the club's NPL 1st Grade squad, utilizing his creativity and scoring ability from midfield.

His impressive performances would help him into the first team and, not long after, make his professional club debut in the A-League against Adelaide United, on 8 May 2022, coming on as a stoppage time substitute. He would make three further appearances in A-League Finals series, mostly coming off the bench late in the game.

Ahead of the 2022–23 season, on 13 November 2022, he earned his first start, winning 2–3 away against Wellington Phoenix. On 6 December, Bozinovski extended his scholarship contract for a further two years.
