Novica "Nocko" Joković (Serbian Cyrillic: Новица "Ноцко" Јоковић; born 3 July 1973) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a striker. Born in Denmark, he is of Serbian descent.

Club career[edit]

Joković started playing football for hometown club Silkeborg IF, before moving to AGF's youth academy at age 15.[1] He made his professional debut for the club on 12 August 1992, starting in a 1–0 win over Lyngby.[2] He played for the club until 1996, where he returned to Silkeborg.[1] After a successful spell, he returned to AGF again in 2000.[3] He was released from the club in January 2002 after disciplinary issues during practice.[4]

After being a free agent for two months, Joković moved to Scottish club Livingston where he joined compatriot Morten Petersen.[5] He left as his contract expired at the end of the 2001–02 season, which saw Livingston finish third in the Scottish Premier League[6] while Joković made only three appearances in which he did not score.[7] In August 2002, Joković left for Faroese club Havnar Bóltfelag[8] and was part of the team winning the top tier 1. deild before leaving in October 2002 after the season.[9]

Joković returned to Denmark after almost a year as a free agent, signing a two-year contract with Danish 1st Division club Randers FC on 15 August 2003.[10] He retired from football in January 2005 after a spell plagued by knee injuries, and with only two appearances.[11] His stint with Randers had a legal aftermath, and in January 2009 he sued his former club through Spillerforeningen (The Danish Player Association) in a dispute over unpaid insurance money.[12] Randers was sentenced to pay a fee of DKK 150,000 in damages to Joković in March 2010.[13]

International career[edit]

Joković made his Denmark under-21 debut against Finland in May 1995. He came on as a substitute for Ulrik Pedersen in the 1–0 loss, after a late Sami Hyypiä goal.[14]

Personal life[edit]

Born in Silkeborg, Denmark, to Serbian parents, Vojin and Gordana Joković,[1] Joković has an older brother, Aleksandar.[1]

Joković is divorced from Louise Søndergaard and together they have a daughter and a son.[4][15]

Legal issues[edit]

Joković was convicted in February 2000 of aggravated assault after punching a young man during a night out and was subsequently given a suspended jail term of 30 days.[16] In July 2000 he was involved in another case of assault,[16] but was acquitted in the case in January 2001.[4]
