Returning to NK Osijek in the summer of 2015, he signed a five-year professional contract with the club and joined the senior team.[2] Štrkalj made his Prva HNL debut in the 9 August 2015 3–0 away loss against NK Slaven Belupo, coming in from the bench in the 81st minute for Antonio Perošević.[3]

On 14 August 2019 he signed a four-year contract with Portuguese Primeira Liga club Tondela.[4]

On 16 August 2022, Tondela sent Štrkalj on loan to Croatian Football League side Hrvatski Dragovoljac.[5]

In March 2022, Štrkalj was loaned to Latvian club FK Auda.[6]

On 7 August 2023, Croatian Football League side Slaven Belupo announced the free signing of Štrkalj on a two-year deal, after his contract with Tondela had expired.[7]
