Club career
Metta
Raimonds Krollis began his senior professional career with FK Metta (now known as FS Metta/LU), a Latvian Virslīga club based in Riga, after progressing through their youth academy. He was promoted to the first team in 2018 but made his league debut on 15 March 2019, during the 2019 Virslīga season, coming on as a substitute in a match against Riga FC.[11] In his debut season, Krollis featured in 25 league appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists while accumulating 1,714 minutes on the pitch. His goals included strikes against Valmiera FC on 27 April 2019 and FK Liepāja on 21 May 2019, contributing to Metta's mid-table position in the league.[12] He also made 1 appearance in the Latvian Cup that year without scoring.[12] Krollis's performance improved markedly in the 2020 Virslīga season, where he became a regular starter for Metta. Over 24 league matches, he netted 11 goals and recorded 3 assists in 1,995 minutes, showcasing his development as a prolific forward. Notable contributions included a brace against BFC Daugavpils on 29 June 2020.[12] His form during this period earned him his first senior international cap for Latvia. Additionally, he played 1 Latvian Cup match that season. Overall, across his time at Metta from 2018 to 2021, Krollis made 49 league appearances and scored 16 goals, helping establish him as one of the club's emerging talents.[12] On 27 January 2021, Krollis transferred to Valmiera FC for an undisclosed fee, marking the end of his stint at Metta after just over two full seasons in the first team.[13] During his tenure, he did not win any major honors with the club, but his consistent goal-scoring helped Metta maintain competitiveness in the Virslīga, with the team finishing 7th in 2019 and 6th in 2020.[12]| Season | Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes Played |

Valmiera
Krollis joined Valmiera FC in January 2021 on a transfer from FK Metta, marking a significant step in his professional career as a centre-forward.[4] During his two-and-a-half-year tenure, he established himself as a pivotal figure in the team's attack, contributing to their rise in the Optibet Virsliga. In the 2021 season, Valmiera finished as runners-up, with Krollis scoring 12 goals across 23 league appearances, helping the club secure their best-ever league position at that point.[12][14] The 2022 season represented the pinnacle of Krollis's time at Valmiera, where he captained the side and led them to their first-ever Virsliga championship. As the league's top scorer, he netted 24 goals in 34 matches, providing crucial firepower in a campaign that saw Valmiera clinch the title with a seven-point lead over second-placed Riga FC.[15][16] His form earned him individual accolades, including the Sportland Best Young Player award for the third consecutive year and the Best Striker honor for the second straight season, as voted by journalists and league coaches.[17][4] Additionally, he was named Optibet Virsliga Player of the Month for May 2022 after scoring eight goals in five games during a dominant run of seven straight victories.[16] Over his Valmiera spell, Krollis made 65 appearances and scored 38 goals across all competitions, including five assists, while receiving six yellow cards.[3] His consistent goal-scoring and leadership were instrumental in elevating Valmiera's status, culminating in his departure to Serie B side Spezia Calcio in January 2023 for an undisclosed fee.[4]Spezia
On 20 January 2023, Raimonds Krollis joined Spezia Calcio on a permanent transfer from Valmiera FC, signing a contract until 30 June 2026.[18] The 21-year-old Latvian forward became the first player from his country to play in Serie A.[5] Krollis made his Serie A debut on 5 February 2023, coming on as a substitute for 14 minutes in a 0–3 home defeat to Napoli, during which he recorded one shot on target.[19] He went on to make three more substitute appearances that season, totaling 36 minutes played without scoring or assisting.[7] Following Spezia's relegation to Serie B, Krollis remained with the club for the 2023–24 season, featuring as a substitute in nine matches and accumulating 130 minutes, again without goals or assists.[7] To secure more playing time, he was loaned to MFK Vyškov of the Czech National Football League on 27 February 2024 until the end of the season, with an option for Spezia to make the move permanent.[20] Krollis then joined Serie C club U.S. Triestina Calcio 1918 on loan from Spezia on 5 August 2024 until 30 June 2025, including an option for a permanent transfer.[8] The loan was terminated early on 3 February 2025, after which Krollis returned to Spezia.[21] Two days later, on 5 February 2025, Spezia permanently transferred him to Czech First League side Slovan Liberec for a reported fee of €300,000.[21][22]Slovan Liberec
Raimonds Krollis joined Slovan Liberec on a permanent transfer from Spezia Calcio on 5 February 2025, signing a contract until 30 June 2028.[1][23] The move came after Krollis had spent the first half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Triestina in Italy's Serie C, where he sought to regain form following limited opportunities at Spezia.[23] In the latter part of the 2024–25 Czech First League season, Krollis quickly established himself as a key attacking option for Slovan Liberec, making 9 appearances and scoring 6 goals in 608 minutes of league play.[24] His debut came on 8 February 2025 against Viktoria Plzeň, where he played 26 minutes in a 3–2 victory.[24] Krollis netted his first goals for the club on 16 February 2025, scoring a brace in a 3–1 win over Mladá Boleslav, contributing significantly to Liberec's push for a mid-table finish.[24] He added further goals against 1. FC Slovácko, Dynamo České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, and MFK Karviná, with his strike in the latter match on 19 April 2025 helping secure a 3–2 comeback victory.[24] Overall, his efficient scoring rate—averaging a goal every 101 minutes—highlighted his clinical finishing and aerial presence as a centre-forward.[24] Entering the 2025–26 season, Krollis continued to feature regularly, accumulating 11 league appearances, 3 goals, and 1 assist by early November 2025.[25] He opened his account for the campaign on 20 July 2025 with a goal in a 2–1 home win against Mladá Boleslav.[25] After a brief absence due to minor injury, he returned on 13 September 2025 as a substitute against Baník Ostrava.[26] Krollis provided his first assist of the season on 18 October 2025 in a 1–0 victory over Teplice, earning a yellow card in the process.[25] He then scored in consecutive matches, netting against 1. FC Slovácko on 1 November 2025 and MFK Karviná on 9 November 2025, where his goal contributed to a dominant 6–1 win that bolstered Liberec's position in the league standings.[25][27] Across both seasons, Krollis has demonstrated versatility in attack, often operating as a lone striker while supporting wingers and midfielders in transitions.[24][25]International career
Senior appearances
Krollis made his senior debut for the Latvia national team on 6 September 2020, substituting into a UEFA Nations League match against Malta in the 62nd minute during a 1–1 draw.[28] He quickly became a regular squad member, often utilized as a substitute forward to inject pace and finishing threat into Latvia's attack.[28] By November 2025, Krollis had accumulated 40 caps for Latvia across various competitions, including UEFA Nations League fixtures, FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[29] His appearances reflect Latvia's typical role in lower-tier international groupings, where he contributed to competitive draws and occasional upsets against similarly ranked opponents.[28] Early in his international career, Krollis featured sparingly but progressively earned more minutes, such as his first start in a 1–1 friendly draw against Kuwait on 25 March 2022, where he played 77 minutes.[28] By 2023, he demonstrated growing reliability with full 90-minute outings in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers, including a 0–2 loss to Wales on 11 September 2023.[28] In the 2024 Baltic Cup, Krollis continued to be selected, logging 84 minutes in a 0–2 defeat to Lithuania on 8 June 2024.[28] His most recent appearance came as a substitute in a March 2025 friendly against Andorra, playing 16 minutes in a 0–1 loss.[28]International goals
