Kronaveter began his football career playing for hometown club Železničar Maribor at the age of ten.[1] On 16 March 2003, at the age of 16, he made his senior début for the team during the Slovenian Second League match against Jadran Hrpelje-Kozina, appearing as a second-half substitute.[2] In the summer of 2006, he joined the top division side Drava Ptuj and signed his first professional contract.[3] In January 2010, he signed a one-year contract with Rudar Velenje.[4]
In August 2010, Kronaveter moved abroad for the first time and joined Energie Cottbus, signing a three-year contract.[5] However, his contract was terminated in June 2012, and he signed for Hungarian side Győri ETO soon afterwards.[6] With Győri, he won his first career honour as the team won the 2012–13 national title.[7] He left Győri in September 2014 by mutual consent.[8] After almost six months without a club, he signed for Romanian side Petrolul Ploiești in March 2015.[9]

Between 2005 and 2007, Kronaveter played for Slovenian under-20 and under-21 teams, for which he scored one goal in eight appearances.[14] He made his debut for the senior team on 30 May 2016 in a 0–0 draw against Sweden.[15]
Kronaveter scored his first international goal for Slovenia on 8 October 2016 in a 1–0 victory over Slovakia.[16]
