## Career
### College

Prior to starting college, Musovski was named the Nevada Gatorade Player of the Year as a high school junior, and set the state high school record for single-season goals as a senior at 58.

He was a two-time All-America selection, and as a senior earned WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Musovski made seven appearances for PDL side Burlingame Dragons FC in 2016 and scored six goals.

### Professional

On January 10, 2018, Musovski was selected 30th overall by the San Jose Earthquakes during the 2018 MLS SuperDraft. He was signed by the club on March 1, 2018, and immediately loaned to San Jose's USL affiliate, Reno 1868 FC, alongside fellow SuperDraft pick Mohamed Thiaw. Musovski made his professional debut as a second-half substitute for Chris Wehan in Reno's 4–3 loss to Swope Park Rangers on March 17, 2018. He scored his first professional goal in his second appearance on March 24, 2018, in a 1–1 draw with Las Vegas Lights FC, a match from which he was later ejected. Musovski was released by San Jose at the end of their 2018 season.
Musovski joined Reno 1868 permanently on January 17, 2019, following his release by San Jose.
On December 10, 2019, Musovski joined Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC ahead of the 2020 season. He made his debut for the club on July 13, 2020, against Houston in the MLS is Back Tournament as a substitute for Adama Diomande in the 79th minute. On September 2, 2020, Musovski scored his first goal with LAFC in a 5–1 win over San Jose. On October 11, 2020, Musovski scored a brace in a 3–1 win over the Seattle Sounders.
Musovski scored his first goal while on loan to USL Championship side Las Vegas Lights FC in a 3–1 loss to Sacramento Republic FC in the 2021 USL Championship season.
On August 3, 2022, Musovski was traded to Real Salt Lake in exchange for $250,000 in General Allocation Money. His contract option was declined by the club at the end of the 2023 season; according to Musovski, negotiations for a renewed contract had broken down, which led to frustration. He sat out of several matches in the latter half of the season.
While in free agency, Musovski signed a two-year contract with Seattle Sounders FC on February 1, 2024.

## Personal life
