In August 2017, Letica made his debut for Hajduk when he featured in a 1–0 league victory against Slaven Belupo where he kept a clean sheet.[12][13] On 11 March 2018, Letica scored his first professional goal in injury time against Istra 1961 for a 3-2 victory[14].

On 15 June 2018, Letica moved abroad and signed a four-year contract with Belgian club Club Brugge KV.[15]

Letica was a part of the Croatia U19 team that played in 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[16] In August 2017, he was called to the Croatia U21 fot matches against Moldova and Austria.[17] He made his debut against Austria which ended in a 1–1 draw.[18]

In May 2018 he was named in Croatia’s preliminary 32 man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia,[19] but did not make the final 23.[20]
