Duga's Professional Football Journey in Slovakia
The professional trajectory of Duga in Slovakian football is marked by his tenure with two notable First Football League clubs. From his early arrival as a young veteran to his long-term commitment at Zlaté Moravce, Duga has navigated the competitive landscape of the top flight of Slovak football.
Early Career at FK Senica
In August 2017, Duga returned to Slovakia to sign with FK Senica. Despite being only 22 years old at the time, he was regarded as the most experienced player within the squad, bringing a level of maturity to the team's dynamics.
His debut for the club occurred during a 1–0 home loss against FC Nitra. Duga soon began contributing to the team's offensive efforts, providing an assist for Jurij Medveděv in the 70th minute of a 3–1 defeat against Spartak Trnava.
Duga's first goal for FK Senica came during a match against ŠK Slovan Bratislava. He scored in the 46th minute, which briefly put the opponents ahead 2–1 in a game that eventually ended in a 2–2 draw after Oliver Podhorín scored the equalizer four minutes later.

Transition to FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce
In 2018, Duga transitioned to another league side, FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce. His debut for the club was a poetic encounter, as he featured in a 1–0 away victory against his former team, FK Senica.
While he established himself in the first division, his first goal for ViOn took longer to materialize, coming two seasons after his debut. He found the net in the 21st minute of a match against FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda, though the game ultimately ended in a 2–1 loss.
Duga's tenure at Zlaté Moravce has seen both hardship and loyalty. He experienced relegation with the club during the 2023–24 season. Despite the drop in division, Duga reaffirmed his commitment to the team by signing a contract extension in 2024, alongside several of his teammates.
