Club career
Born in Sarajevo (in Bosnia and Herzegovina), he moved with his parents to Apatin (in Serbia) as a child. He started his youth career playing for local team FK Mladost Apatin.
After three years he signed his first professional contract for the same football club and remained faithful to this club for 11 years. He contributed in placing Mladost in the First League of FR Yugoslavia twice, which was the greatest achievement of that club until then in its history. At that time, he was invited to the U-19 Serbia and Montenegro national team, but only played two matches during his year as its member. In the summer of 2006 he left Mladost and the following two years he played for FK Vojvodina from Novi Sad, and FK Borac Čačak in the Serbian SuperLiga, following also spells abroad with Hungarian Zalaegerszegi TE and Bosnian FK Laktaši. In the summer of 2009, he joined Iranian team Shahrdari Tabriz F.C..[1] During the winter break of the 2011–12 season, he returned to Serbia by signing with his former team FK Borac Čačak.[2]
