Career[edit]

He will play the following two seasons with another Montenegrin top-flight side, Petrovac. His successful adaptation to football in former-Yugoslavia made him come up on the radars of other teams from the region, which resulted in his move in summer 2019 to Serbian side Spartak Subotica.^[1]

He scored the winning goal against Arema in Liga 1 match, which saw the Persebaya Surabaya defeats Arema in 2-3 in away game, ending the 23 years of winless streak against the Malang-based team.^[2] The post-match however were overshadowed by a riot and stampede.
