About the player
Darko Churlinov was 16 years and eight months old when he first played for North Macedonia in 2017. That made him the youngest player to debut for the national side. He has since won 43 caps and scored five goals for the senior team, against Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar and Malta. Before that he had played for the U17, U19 and U21 sides.
His route into football began in Skopje, with FK Forca, then FK Rabotnički and FK Vardar. He moved to Germany and spent time in the youth systems of Hansa Rostock, 1. FC Magdeburg and 1. FC Köln. Köln handed him his Bundesliga debut on 17 August 2019. In January 2020 he signed a four-year deal with VfB Stuttgart, where he made 21 appearances and scored one goal.
The 2021–22 season on loan at FC Schalke 04 brought a 2. Bundesliga title, with 22 appearances and two goals. In August 2022 he joined Burnley, in a deal widely reported as €3.5m plus €1.5m in bonuses. He won the EFL Championship with the club in 2022–23.
He arrived at Jagiellonia Białystok on loan in August 2024 and scored five goals in 26 appearances. One of them was the decisive goal against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Conference League. That same year he won the Polish Super Cup with the club. In September 2025 he moved on to Kocaelispor in Turkey.
