Zehrudin Mehmedović (born 15 March 1998), also known as Zeko, is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a forward or attacking midfielder for Serbian League West club, FK FAP, on loan from FK Sloboda Užice.[3] He was a member of the Serbia national under-17 team.
Club career
[edit]Čukarički
[edit]Mehmedović made his Jelen SuperLiga debut for Čukarički on away match versus Partizan on 28 May 2014.[4] When he entered into the pitch, he became the youngest player in history of Čukarički and second youngest in football history of Serbia.[5] Mehmedović signed his first three-year professional contract with Čukarički ending of 2015.[6]
Tampines Rovers
[edit]In December 2018, Mehmedović was offered a trial at Singapore Premier League's side, Tampines Rovers.[7] Mehmedović was brought in by Tampines' assistant coach Fahrudin Mustafić, who said: "He's a young player, but he's very creative. These days, there aren't many No. 10 players who can give you quality final passes and can receive the ball around the box and score.
"So he adds that extra quality and he's doing well so far. It's a huge step for him to come to a foreign country, but he has been training hard and showing signs of improvement."[8]
In his first season at the club, he helped them to clinch the 2019 Singapore Cup and the 2020 Singapore Community Shield the following season.
KF Gostivari
[edit]On 1 July 2023, Mehmedović signed for Macedonian side KF Gostivari.
