Club career

edit

Born in Tallinn, Kreida played youth football with local sides Štrommi and TJK Legion before signing for Flora in 2016. He initially played with Flora III and Flora II before making his first team debut in 2017.[1] Kreida was part of the team that won the Meistriliiga in 2019 and 2020, as well as winning the Estonian Cup in 2019–20.[2] In 2021, he was loaned out to Superettan side Helsingborgs IF who he helped to promotion to the Allsvenskan. In early 2022, he signed for Ukrainian Premier League side Veres Rivne but returned to his parent club without making an appearance due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 31 March 2022, Kreida joined Skövde AIK in Sweden on loan.[3] He picked up his third Meistriliiga medal following Flora's league win in 2022.[4] Kreida signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic on a season long loan deal on 12 January 2023.[5][6] He made his debut on 17 February 2023 in the first game of the season against Derry City, providing an assist for Joe Redmond's 89th minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw.[7] On 1 July 2023, it was announced that Kreida's loan spell with the club was cut short having made just 11 appearances in the club's 25 games in all competitions up to that point.[8] On 17 September 2023, he made his 200th senior club career appearance in all competitions in a 0–0 draw for Flora away to Nõmme Kalju.[9]

International career

edit

Kreida made his senior international debut for Estonia on 11 June 2019, replacing Konstantin Vassiljev in the 82nd minute of a 0–8 away loss to Germany in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match.[10] In June 2021, Kreida featured in both a 1–0 win over Lithuania[11] and a 2–1 win over Latvia[11] which resulted in his country winning the 2020 Baltic Cup.
